Arsenal are facing the prospect of missing out on top target Thomas Partey after Atletico Madrid's latest contract offer. Mikel Arteta wants to revamp the midfield at the Gunners in the transfer market.
And first on the shopping list is a top-class defensive midfielder and there are not many who have had a better season than Partey.
The current options at the Emirates have failed to convince Arteta and the likes of Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka have been linked with moves away.
Partey, on the other hand, has been a huge success under Diego Simeone this season. Though Atletico have struggled in La Liga, the Ghana international has been a shining light.
