Brentford have completed the £2.8million signing of Danish midfield Christian Norgaard from Fiorentina.
Bees manager Thomas Frank coached Norgaard at Brondby and has moved to make the 25-year-old his first summer signing.
Norgaard has agreed a four-year contract at Griffin Park. He made six appearances for Fiorentina in Serie A this season, having moved to Italy from Denmark last summer.
Frank said: “Christian is player that will fit our team and the Brentford style well on and off the pitch. He is technically good and looks to pass the ball forward. Importantly, he is also good at intercepting passes and has a strong defensive mindset.
“Christian can play in a variety of different positions in the midfield but has given his best performances as a deep midfield player. He will be good in the dressing room and has an excellent mindset. All the staff are looking forward to welcoming him to the squad when we return for pre-season training.”
