The 32-year-old joined us from Brentford in July 2025 and made 20 appearances in all competitions for us.

Christian started his professional career in Denmark with Lyngby, before moving to Brondby, where he experienced silverware for the first time when he lifted the Danish Cup at the end of the 2017/18 season, a campaign that also saw him win Brondby’s Player of the Season for 2017. After five seasons and 147 appearances, Christian moved to Serie A side Fiorentina in July 2018, where he spent a year before signing for Brentford.

Over six seasons in west London, Christian played a crucial role in Brentford’s rise to the Premier League, going on to wear the captain’s armband and making 196 appearances for the Bees, scoring 13 goals and assisting 18 times from defensive midfield.

The 2025/26 season saw Christian move across the capital and make his debut for us in our 2-0 away win against Athletic Club in the UEFA Champions League. Minutes across all four competitions saw Christian contribute three assists, which came in consecutive fixtures in the FA Cup. A valued member of our squad during an historic campaign, Christian’s seven appearances in the league included the final-day fixture away to Crystal Palace, which saw us lift the Premier League.

The Denmark international has made 41 appearances for his country, notably representing Denmark in two UEFA European Championships and the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Everyone at Arsenal would like to thank Christian for his valued contribution to the club and wish him all the best for his future.
