As things stand, Thomas Partey’s contract at Arsenal is set to expire in the summer alongside fellow midfielder Jorginho.
Jorginho looks almost certain to leave Arsenal, however, it’s a different case with Partey and the midfielder’s contract situation still appears to be unresolved.
Partey has played 39 games under Mikel Arteta this season and his injury record has significantly improved in comparison to his last two or three campaigns at Arsenal.
Amid a series of fitness issues for the Gunners this season, Partey has been readily available, fulfilling roles at right-back and in his preferred defensive midfield role.
Of course, Arsenal want to sign Martin Zubimendi in the summer which suggests that Arteta is envisioning a major midfield revamp.
But with Arsenal pushing to sign Andrea Berta as their new sporting director, perhaps Partey might still have a future at the club.
Arsenal signed Partey from Berta’s old club Atletico Madrid in 2020, a deal that the sporting director negotiated with the Gunners.
Although, given that Arsenal paid Partey’s release clause, Berta didn’t have much say in the Ghana international leaving.
