Atletico Madrid fans do not seem best pleased with Thomas Partey, who left to join Arsenal on deadline day.

Partey was expected to stay with Atleti, but at the last minute Arsenal activated his release clause.

Partey’s move to the Emirates Stadium then went through swiftly, with Atleti ultimately bringing in Lucas Torreira from Arsenal as his replacement.

The deadline day business caused great frustration in the Spanish capital.

And here is some reaction from Atleti fans, after Partey sealed his move to Arsenal.

Despite the frustrations around Atletico, Arsenal fans are hugely excited by the transfer move.

Partey is expected to walk straight into Mikel Arteta’s starting line-up, and he should provide them with much more steel and discipline in midfield.
