Arsenal consider selling 30-year-old midfield general

Arsenal are in discussions to find out the future of Thomas Partey, as there’s a chance for the 30-year-old midfielder to leave. According to Fabrizio Romano, there are concrete chances for Thomas Partey to leave Arsenal in the summer. Mikel Arteta is in the market to strengthen their midfielder, although losing the Ghanaian and Granit Xhaka in the same window could pose a risk. Arsenal’s aggressive approach in the transfer market initially indicated Mikel Arteta’s desire to add to the current squad. They were always expected to bring a new holding midfielder to advance their cause of winning the Premier League, but the real plan remains unclear. Granit Xhaka is waiting to leave the club amid concrete links with Bayer Leverkusen. Arteta continues to wait for Arsenal to sign Declan Rice before sanctioning the Swiss star’s move. The north Londoners are seemingly poised to make a £100 million bid for the West Ham star, with a move quite likely to happen. For some time, it was the understanding that Arsenal would open the doors for Xhaka to leave, but they were unwilling to sell Thomas Partey. The 30-year-old midfield general has been a solid player since joining the club in 2020. He was instrumental in helping the Gunners mount a title challenge.
