Arsenal’s midfielder Thomas Partey has expressed his desire to leave the club in the upcoming January transfer window, favouring a move to a Premier League team over Serie A giants, Juventus, according to reports from Tuttomercatoweb.
The Ghanaian international, who signed for Arsenal in a £45 million deal from Atletico Madrid, is eager for a change of scenery and a potential mid-season transfer.
Partey’s departure, however, hinges on Arsenal’s ability to find a suitable replacement, and manager Mikel Arteta’s willingness to let him join a top-flight rival.
While Juventus have shown interest in the 30-year-old midfielder, Tuttomercatoweb suggests that Partey is keeping the Italian club on hold, anticipating offers from English or Spanish clubs, where he initially made a name for himself under the guidance of Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid.
Partey, who played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s pursuit of the Premier League title last season, has been hampered by a persistent groin injury during the 2023/24 campaign.
Even when fit, he has occasionally found himself on the bench, leading to frustration, such as during the recent 2-2 London derby draw with Chelsea, as reported by 90Min.
Arsenal fans await developments as the transfer window approaches, with Partey’s future at the club uncertain.
