In a bid to secure crucial transfer funds, Arsenal is reportedly considering the sale of midfielder Thomas Partey during the upcoming January transfer window.
Manager Mikel Arteta is determined to strengthen the squad, aiming to guide the Gunners to their first Premier League title in two decades.
The primary focus is on acquiring a new midfielder, with a forward also high on Arteta’s transfer wishlist.
The pursuit of new additions, however, necessitates the departure of some current Arsenal players.
ESPN reports suggest that Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey could be among those set for a move away from the club.
Partey, at 30, has been limited to just four Premier League appearances this season due to injury, and his return to action is not anticipated until January.
Complicating matters, Arsenal is likely to miss Partey for an additional month as he joins the Ghana squad for the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Gunners were reportedly open to selling Partey earlier, particularly after the arrival of Declan Rice in July.
However, a suitable bid did not materialise before the transfer deadline.
Juventus has emerged as a potential destination for Thomas Partey, with the Italian club expressing interest in securing his services.
As Arsenal explores the possibility of Partey’s departure, it could pave the way for the club to address Arteta’s priorities in the transfer market and make the necessary additions to the squad.
