Speculation is rife as Arsenal’s Thomas Partey draws attention from Italian suitors. As Arsenal gear up for a potential midfield revamp, Partey’s exit could prove integral to their summer transfer strategy.
With Italian clubs showing a keen interest, we delve into the implications for the Gunners.
- Arsenal’s Thomas Partey is garnering interest from two Italian clubs, potentially leading to a summer move.
- Arsenal may use the potential sale of Partey to fund their midfield reshuffle, with Moises Caicedo and Declan Rice being potential acquisitions.
- Despite a strong season, Partey’s recent form dip has led Mikel Arteta to consider his possible transfer.
Italian interest in Partey intensifies amid Arsenal’s potential midfield overhaul
Following a season of fluctuating performances, Arsenal may be preparing to say goodbye to Ghanaian midfielder, Thomas Partey.
Rumours suggest that Partey, despite some strong outings, is being considered for a transfer, with two prominent Italian clubs showing interest.
Performance and potential transfer
Despite his impressive stint at Arsenal, there’s been a noticeable dip in Partey’s form towards the end of the season.
This decline has led to speculations about his possible transfer, a move Mikel Arteta is reportedly open to, especially considering Partey’s two years left on his contract.
Funding new acquisitions with Partey’s potential sale
Should Partey leave, it’s expected Arsenal will use the funds for midfield reinforcements. Moises Caicedo and Declan Rice are among those being linked to the Gunners.
Specifically, Caicedo, currently a standout at Brighton, possesses qualities similar to Partey and has been on Arsenal’s radar since January.
However, securing Caicedo won’t come cheap.
With his value reportedly much higher than the £70million Arsenal bid in the previous transfer window, the Gunners have their work cut out.
Italian clubs keen on Partey
With the rumour mill churning, Partey’s potential departure could spark interest from more clubs, but currently, it’s the Italian giants leading the charge.
Italian clubs’ interest in the Ghanaian star only fuels further speculation about his future at Arsenal with Partey also said to be considering a move to Saudi Arabia.
Whether this speculation translates into a solid offer remains to be seen. Arsenal, meanwhile, are reportedly holding out for a ‘good offer’ before considering Partey’s move.
It’s clear, any potential transfer involving Partey will play a key role in the Gunners’ summer transfer strategy and the upcoming Premier League season.
