‘I don’t want Arsenal to sign him; if he comes now, I’m done’: Thomas Partey shouts out as Arsenal set to sign 25-year-old star as his replacement in the summer – Deal already advancing to final stage.
Thomas Partey is anticipated to feature in fewer than 20 league games this season due to persistent fitness issues, despite being a pivotal player under Mikel Arteta’s management at Arsenal.
Despite retaining Partey during the summer, Arsenal might now rue not trading him, given his restricted involvement this season. As Partey’s contract has only one season remaining beyond the current one, Arsenal appears to be exploring options for his replacement.
The Sun reports that Arsenal is eyeing Martin Zubimendi as a potential substitute for the Ghanaian midfielder. Zubimendi, consistently delivering strong performances for Real Sociedad in recent seasons, has captured Arsenal’s attention.
Mikel Arteta is reportedly keen on collaborating with the 25-year-old Spaniard, who has evolved into a commendable performer at Sociedad. Despite Zubimendi rejecting a move in the summer, Arsenal aims to sway him to join at the conclusion of the season.
In our perspective, Partey’s ongoing fitness struggles have been a source of frustration in recent months, necessitating a timely replacement to maximize his contributions during the upcoming summer.
