Arsenal are said to be interested in Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey, but he could be too expensive.

Arsenal have been chasing Partey for much of the summer, and it has been said that that Atletico Madrid midfielder is out of their price range.
Arsenal could now have to rely on making free agent signings or loan deals, as they look to strengthen their squad.
Arsenal are also reportedly more likely to bring in both Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares on permanent deals than snap up the likes of Dayot Upemecano and Alex Disasi.
And Arsenal fans can’t help but be annoyed by the update over their transfer plans.

Arsenal are currently sat in ninth place in the Premier League table, some way back from the top four.
