Arsenal are being linked with a summer move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey. The combative Ghanaian has reportedly told friends he is keen to join the Gunners this summer and is hopeful an agreement can be reached.
With the club battling with the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, Mikel Arteta could be faced with some tough decisions.
But it has been claimed he has made Partey his No.1 target to add a new dimension to his Arsenal side with the possibility of a swap deal featuring Alexandre Lacazette also touted.
Partey, who has a £45million release clause, has emerged as a star performer in recent years - and he has already made his mark against Arsenal at the Emirates.
