Tillman undergoes medical examination in the US, transfer to Ten Hag side 'completed soon'
Malik Tillman's transfer to Bayer Leverkusen has gained momentum, according to De Telegraaf. The PSV midfielder will undergo his medical in the United States on Thursday as the final step before his move to the Bundesliga. Tillman played for the United States at the Gold Cup last month. It had long seemed likely he would transfer from PSV to Bayer Leverkusen this summer, but the deal gained particular momentum on Thursday. Advertisement After losing the Gold Cup final (1-2 against Mexico), Tillman stayed in his home country for a holiday. The attacking midfielder will undergo his medical on Thursday and will then 'quickly sign' for Erik ten Hag's team. 'Bayer Leverkusen's club doctor has travelled to America to supervise the medical examination at a local clinic. If the outcome is positive, the deal can be finalised,' De Telegraaf reports. Tillman reportedly costs around 40 million euros and will sign a five-year contract in the Bundesliga. Tillman's transfer will be PSV's third-largest sale. Only Hirving Lozano, who moved to Napoli for €50 million, and Cody Gakpo, who moved to Liverpool for €42 million, have generated more money for the Eindhoven club. In this case, Tillman will be the most expensive signing in the Bundesliga club's history. Ten Hag and his team are also reportedly eyeing the services of Johan Bakayoko. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

Arsenal announce the arrival of Christian Norgaard
Arsenal have officially confirmed the signing of midfielder Christian Norgaard from Brentford. The 31-year-old midfielder joins the Gunners in a deal worth an initial £10 million plus £2 million in add-ons. Advertisement Norgaard arrives at the Emirates Stadium following a highly successful six-year spell at Brentford, where he made 196 appearances across all competitions, including 122 in the Premier League. Known for his leadership qualities and physical presence, the Denmark international is expected to bring experience and stability to Arsenal's midfield, especially after the departures of Jorginho and Thomas Partey earlier this summer. Norgaard is looking forward to playing in the Champions League after revealing that he had already given up any hopes of featuring in Europe's premier club competition. 'I've just turned 31 and had signed a new deal with Brentford,' he told Advertisement 'Of course, there's always a little chance that a miracle could happen with Brentford, but it was probably unrealistic to play Champions League with them. 'Now, I get to hear the anthem and be a part of a Champions League campaign. It's a childhood dream and something I didn't think would be possible. So it's something I'm really, really happy about.' Joining Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi, Norgaard is Arsenal's third signing of the summer window, and the Gunners are working on further additions. They are currently in negotiations with Chelsea over a deal for Noni Madueke and remain keen on bringing in a striker despite their pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres reportedly being in danger of collapsing.
