Partey’s future is once again being scrutinized due to another injury setback. Despite being a key player for Arsenal last season, he’s been limited to just five appearances this term due to a groin issue earlier and a recent thigh problem, which is expected to keep him out for “a few weeks” at least, as per Football London.
The Ghanaian was previously linked with a move to Saudi Arabia and Juventus, but no transfer materialized. With Arsenal continually evolving under Edu and Mikel Arteta, there’s a focus on strengthening the central midfield, which might involve considering a third high-quality midfielder.
Rumors suggest that either Partey or Jorginho might make way for potential signings. Both are reportedly on Juventus’ radar, as the Serie A club aims to replace suspended players Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli in January.
Arsenal has been linked with Aurelien Tchouameni as an upgrade in midfield. However, the latest reports from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano suggest there’s currently no concrete decision or talks about bringing in a new midfielder like Tchouameni.
Romano highlighted the strong mutual admiration between Tchouameni and Real Madrid, indicating it would take an extraordinary circumstance for a transfer to materialize.
Romano emphasized that Tchouameni’s bond with Real Madrid is robust, hinting that while links with other big clubs may surface, there’s currently no movement towards a transfer to Arsenal.
