As the team won back-to-back games without Thomas Partey, some Arsenal supporters on social media called for his transfer.
Some contend that the Gunners should release the Ghanaian in the summer since the team has advanced past its over-reliance on him.
Thomas Partey had a stellar season up until April, when his repeated mistakes and poor performance caused Arsenal to lose their unbeaten streak and slip to second place in the standings.
He was introduced in the final 20 minutes of Arsenal’s 2-0 away win over Newcastle United. This is the first time the 29-year-old was left on the bench in back-to-back games this season.
His replacement Jorginho has filled the void and won man-of-the-match against Newcastle and winning the hearts of the fans.
Some fans believe Jorginho gave the team much better control and thus the club would only need a replacement for Partey and keep the Italian.
Arsenal are in hot pursuit of the Premier League, trailing league leaders Manchester City by a point with three games left but the City have a game more.
This team has evolved past Thomas Partey, he needs replacing now.— . (@The_Wilsh) May 7, 2023.
If anyone should get sold this summer, it’s Thomas Partey, not Granit Xhaka. #NEWARS
It’s time to sell Thomas Partey this summer.— ag™️ (@TAGunner28) May 2, 2023
Honestly we might have seen the last of Partey at Arsenal.
With Rice and/or Caicedo possibly joining we’ll need to make space in midfield and given the selection of Jorginho against a very physical team with no news of an injury to Partey it looks like hes done here.— AfcBOM (@AFCBOM) May 7, 2023.
orginho is better than Thomas Partey.
Arsenal fans should we debate this?— Temitope (@IamTopsy4real) May 7, 2023.
