Arsenal in advanced talks to bring Thomas Partey
There has been intense speculation surrounding the future of Thomas Partey in the last period.
The latest reports in England suggest that Arsenal are in advanced talks to bring Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey.
In 188 appearances for Atletico, Partey has managed to score 16 goals, and create 12 goals for his teammates.
The 27-year-old is considered to be one of the best midfielders in Ghana.
Partey has also left his mark at the international stage after netting 9 goals in 26 senior appearances for the Ghana national team.
Mikel Arteta wants to sign a new midfielder and Partey is one of the names at the top of his wishlist. He is a known admirer of the player and is reportedly keen on the idea of bringing him this transfer window.
The Gunners are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.
There is no doubt that Partey will take Arsenal’s midfield to a different level.
According to the report, “The Atletico Madrid midfielder is being heavily linked with a transfer to Arsenal, but the Gunners are running out of time to get a £45m deal over the line. The representative of Thomas Partey may have fueled further speculation about a transfer deadline day move to Arsenal. With just hours remaining until the summer transfer window closes, the Gunners are still being tipped to do some late business amid links to the Ghana international who would cost £45m.”

If Arsenal can agree on a fee with Atletico, the deal should be easy to complete.
Atletico Madrid are preparing to sell their midfielder should they receive a massive offer for him.
Good signing for Arsenal?
Arsenal could benefit by signing Partey as the midfielder is one of the areas of concern for Mikel Arteta.
Thomas Partey has all the skillset required to be a success story at Arsenal. Therefore, it makes sense for Arteta to step up his attempts to bring the Ghana midfielder to Premier League side.
Stylistically, he would be a great fit in Arsenal.
It will be interesting to see whether Arsenal will make their move today.
