Arsenal: Thomas Partey, an agreement is taking shape
Thomas Partey could be set to extend his stay at Arsenal. With his contract expiring this summer, the Ghanaian defensive midfielder is in advanced negotiations with the London club’s hierarchy. A short-term deal, with revised wages, is on the table. And according to recent developments, the talks are progressing positively.
At 31, Partey has just completed a full season with the Gunners: 51 appearances across all competitions, 4 goals and 3 assists. His consistency has even impressed his manager, Mikel Arteta, who has openly called for him to stay:
Yes, I would like Thomas Partey to stay and sign a new contract. In terms of consistency, this has been his best season. The way he’s played, his performances, his availability have all been exceptional. He’s a very important player for us.
But Arsenal are not alone in the race. Clubs from LaLiga, Serie A, the Premier League and even the Saudi Pro League are closely monitoring the situation. Despite the interest, Arsenal remain confident. The ball is now in the player’s court.
