Cannon Stats - The Analytics Podcast

Join us on the Cannon Stats Podcast as we dive into Arsenal’s imminent signing of Brentford captain Christian Nørgaard for something in the range of £10m-£15m. In this episode, hosts Scott and Adam unpack the transfer’s implications, Thomas Partey’s looming exit, and whether the Gunners’ squad is stronger for it.
