Thomas Partey wants to leave Arsenal in January
...Click Here To Continue Reading>>
Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has already informed the club that he wants to leave during the January transfer window, according to TuttoMercatoWeb.
The Ghanaian star was linked with a move away from the north London giants last summer. He was the subject of interest from Saudi Arabian clubs and Juventus.
The Bianconeri remain keen on signing him ahead of the New Year, but TuttoMercatoWeb claim that he is stalling on their interest and prefers to move elsewhere.
The 30-year-old has already conveyed his desire to leave the Gunners this winter. He is waiting for proposals from other clubs in the Premier League and La Liga.
Arsenal unlikely to offload Partey in January
Partey started the campaign as an inverted right-back. He played the first three games before picking up a groin injury before the Manchester United clash.
The midfielder made his comeback against Manchester City before the international break, but managed just 15 minutes before picking up a fresh muscle injury.
The Ghanaian could be ruled out until the New Year as a result. Regardless of this, we don’t see the Gunners parting ways with his services in the next window.
The €35 million-rated star is no longer an assured starter. Manager Mikel Arteta preferred to play Jorginho over him in two games in early October. Partey started on the bench thrice.
He could face a similar situation on his return with Jorginho and Declan Rice in the squad, but the hierarchy should not consider his sale midway through the season.
Partey remains a key player in the club’s ranks and could find his way back into the starting line-up if Jorginho were to underperform during the back end of the campaign.
The club should deal with his situation similar to Xhaka’s. The former captain was only permitted to leave during the summer and the same stance should be taken on Partey.
Arsenal could sign a new defensive midfielder by selling Partey in January, but that would be a risky prospect. An overseas-based player may struggle to adapt to the Premier League’s intensity from the off.

Sean Dyche was forced into one alteration from the team that lost to Manchester United last week with Dominic Calvert-Lewin left out through injury, allowing Beto to make the starting 11.
Notably, the pink protest cards were out in force by the Everton faithful again this week.
There was little to choose between the sides during the opening exchanges, though Anthony Elanga looked like the most dangerous player on the pitch over the first 20 minutes, with Ashley Young struggling to keep up with the 21-year-old.
However, the first big chance of the match fell the way of The Toffees when Odysseas Vlachodimos dropped a high ball into the box that fell at the feet of Beto, but the forward skied his first-time effort over the bar from roughly 12 yards out.
Forest had their first real sight of goal at the half-hour mark, with Elanga getting on the end of a cross into the box, but the forward was unable to guide the ball inside the far post with his attempt.
The best chance of the first half went the way of the visitors when Abdoulaye Doucoure played in Dwight McNeil, who put his shot past Vlachodimos, but Murillo got back on the line and cleared the ball to safety off the face of the upright.
It was all square at the interval, but Everton should probably have been in the lead with two big chances wasted.
Forest made a bright start to the second half and almost got the opening goal with a shot from Felipe that struck the woodwork.
Amid the tussle in the box during that attempt, Doucoure looked to have pulled Yates to the ground, which the referee waved on, and after a VAR review, the video assistants decided there was not enough evidence to overturn the onfield decision.
Unfortunately for Forest, their frustrations were compounded 10 minutes later as Beto miscued a header in the opposing box that fell to McNeil, who lashed a powerful shot into the top corner to give The Toffees the lead.
Elanga almost pulled his side level twice in the final 10 minutes but saw his first attempt smothered by Jordan Pickford, while his second went just wide of the far post from a snap shot.
Everton parked the bus in stoppage time and saw the game out for a big three points.
Forest will head to Craven Cottage in midweek to take on Fulham while Everton will welcome Newcastle United to Goodison Park on Thursday night.
