Arsenal is set to commence talks regarding a contract extension with Thomas Partey and his representatives.
This was reported by TBR and it is firmly believed that Partey might be extending his time at Arsenal beyond this summer, as his contract is set to expire at the end of the campaign. Last season, Partey was heavily involved with a potential move to Saudi Arabia, but the move never materialized and he remained with Arsenal, making only 16 appearances for the club, as his campaign was blighted heavily by injuries.
Arsenal expected to offer Partey a two-year contract extension
With Partey, 31, currently set to leave the club on a Bosman next summer, it has been reported that Arsenal will be offering him a two-year contract extension, that will keep him at the club till he’s 33.
Arsenal has signed Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad to be Declan Rice’s long-term partner in the middle of the park, so Partey might find his game time limited and would be deployed in the pitch like Jorginho, coming on to see out games, or featuring in the lower tier fixtures, when the likes of Rice or Merino need a rest.
With the Ghanaian midfielder happy at Arsenal and the club willing to extend his contract beyond this season, this renewal should be pretty straightforward.
