Arsenal make U-turn over Thomas Partey future
The Express has claimed that earlier in the window, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta toyed with the idea of cashing in on Partey and bringing in someone new, such as Romeo Lavia, who has since joined Chelsea from Southampton.
Clubs in Saudi Arabia and Juventus were interested in Partey, who has been described as “a super important player” by Arsenal boss Arteta in The Express.
Arsenal have now decided not to sell the 30-year-old Ghana international defensive midfielder, according to the report.
We believe that Arsenal are making the right decision in keeping Partey.
The Gunners have already sold Granit Xhaka in the summer transfer window.
Yes, Arsenal have signed Declan Rice, but the North London club need a big and strong squad this season.
After all, the Gunners are aiming to win the Premier League title this season and will also be keen on making an impact in the UEFA Champions League.
Partey is a very good and combative midfielder who did well for most of last season.
The defensive midfielder has made 82 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
Partey has scored five goals and given three assists in those games.
