Arsenal are ready to sell Thomas Partey at the end of the season.
According to a report from Football Insider, the 30-year-old Ghana international could be sold in the summer if the right offer is presented. Arsenal will accept an offer in the region of £20-25 million for the defensive midfielder.
Partey has been a key player for Arsenal since joining the club from Atletico Madrid, but he has had his share of injury problems this season. Despite his quality as a footballer, he remains an unreliable option because of his availability. Arsenal should look to sell him and bring in a quality central midfielder at the end of the season. They have been linked with players like Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal can fetch the reported asking price for the experienced midfielder. He has shown his quality in the Premier League with Arsenal and he is certainly good enough to play for the top clubs. Despite being 30, he has a few years left at the highest level, especially if he can stay fit.
Signing him for a fee of around £20-25 million would represent an excellent bargain for most clubs. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Arsenal need a quality midfielder
Meanwhile, Arsenal are currently pushing for the league title and they are three points clear on top of the table. It will be interesting to see if they can stay there and finish as the champions. They will be hoping to attract top quality players in the summer, and the departure of Partey will certainly boost their transfer budget.
The Ghana international midfielder has been linked with the move away from Arsenal in recent months as well, and he is unlikely to have any shortage of suitors in the summer. His contract with Arsenal expires in 2025, and this summer will be the final opportunity to fetch a price for him.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal can bring in the adequate reinforcements if the midfielder is sold in the coming weeks. They need to sign a reliable partner for Declan Rice, who can control the tempo of the game and stitch the play together from the deep.
