The Arsenal manager highlighted the midfielder’s influence away from the spotlight and praised the qualities he brought to the team. Arteta said via Arsenal Media:“It’s a message of admiration, love and I’m very thankful for what he brought to the club, how he helped us to win.“I think behind the scenes, we haven’t seen what he’s done, but I think he’s a player that has a unique quality to make others better, to maintain a culture to the highest standards.“And then his contribution on the pitch when he played and had his minutes. So it was difficult to let him go. I understand it’s a stage in his career that he needs to play and fulfil as well, all their dreams, but (we’re) forever thankful.”Norgaard’s departure marks the end of a brief Arsenal chapter, but Arteta’s comments show the value the midfielder provided during his time at the club.
