Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey has reportedly told friends that he wants to join Arsenal in the summer. The Ghana international has been linked with a move to the Gunners for months with Mikel Arteta known to be a big fan of his.
Arteta had identified Partey as a transfer target earlier in the season, with the Gunners boss hoping to convince the board to strike a deal him when football returns to normal.
The 26-year-old has been a key asset for Diego Simeone in La Liga this season having played 24 out of 27 games, and he has also impressed in Europe.
Indeed, he was one of the standout players as his Atletico side knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League at the last 16 stage.
