English Premier League outfit Arsenal are trying to conclude a deal for long-term target Thomas Partey from Atletico Madrid, the BBC has reported.
The highly-rated Atletico Madrid midfielder has been on the Gunners’ radar all summer but they have so far refused to meet his £45million release clause.

Now, though, it is understood Arsenal have gone back in for Partey and are hoping to do a deal before the 11pm deadline.
Lucas Torreira, meanwhile, could swap places with Partey as the Uruguayan is expected to join Atletico on loan.
