‘He is the one killing this Arsenal team, but they won’t see it now since they’re blaming Martinelli and Havertz’: Chelsea veteran Frank Lampard names one Arsenal player who must be sold this summer if Arteta truly wants to compete for the title.
Arsenal appears to have abandoned hope of maximizing Thomas Partey’s potential. Since joining from Atletico Madrid in 2020 for a reported £45 million, the 30-year-old midfielder has struggled to maintain consistent performance. Despite occasional glimpses of his La Liga prowess, Partey’s overall contribution has been disappointing. Poor performances and injury issues have played a role in the club’s decision to secure Declan Rice from West Ham for a hefty £105 million last summer.
The latest development in this ongoing saga, as reported by Fichajes, indicates that Juventus has placed Arsenal’s Partey at the top of their summer wishlist. Manager Max Allegri is keen on aiding the midfielder in rediscovering his best form. Complicating matters is Partey’s current hamstring injury, which has left him sidelined with only 18 months left on his contract. There is a growing concern that he might have already played his final game for the Gunners. Consequently, the club seems willing to entertain offers as low as £15 million when the summer transfer window opens at the end of the season.
Over his three-and-a-half years in London, Partey, who has represented Ghana 45 times, has contributed five goals and four assists in 105 matches across all competitions.
