According to footballtransfers.com, Thomas Partey has informed Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta of his desire to leave the club.
The Ghanaian midfielder has expressed his reluctance to play a secondary role in the upcoming season and has requested assistance from Arsenal in securing a transfer to another club.
Although Arteta would prefer to keep Partey, he has reluctantly agreed to facilitate the transfer if a reasonable price can be achieved for the player’s services.
While initial discussions have taken place with clubs in Saudi Arabia and Juventus, no concrete offers have been received at this time.
As a result, Arsenal is now engaged in intensified negotiations with Southampton regarding a potential move for Romeo Lavia.
Furthermore, further discussions will be held with Thomas Partey to clarify his future aspirations and determine the best course of action for all parties involved.
Partey joined Arsenal in 2020 and played a key role for the team last season.
