Thomas Partey has arrived in the USA and joined his Arsenal teammates for their pre-season tour.

The Ghana midfielder was left out of the initial travelling squad due to fitness issues, but he has fully recovered and is now ready to contribute to the team.

Partey, who joined Arsenal from Atletico Madrid in 2020, has recently been the subject of transfer speculation, with interest reportedly coming from teams in Saudi Arabia and Italy.

Juventus, in particular, are said to be keen on acquiring the services of the Ghanaian midfielder ahead of the forthcoming season.

In a statement on their official website, Arsenal confirmed that “the players who are not part of the squad will be working hard on their fitness and/or recovering from injury.”

The Gunners will commence their tour by travelling to Washington, where they are scheduled to face the MLS All-Stars.

Subsequently, they will head to New Jersey for a match against Manchester United before concluding their tour with a fixture against Barcelona in Los Angeles.

Partey is expected to feature in all the games, as he prepares for an important season in his Arsenal career.
