Arsenal are reportedly willing to match Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey’s £42million release clause in the summer and are already said to be in talks over a move – to the delight of Gunners supporters on Twitter.

Partey, 26, has established himself as one of the best defensive midfielders in European football at this moment of time – as he continues to shine for Diegoe Simeone’s side. He has missed just two of Atleti’s 35 league and cup outings this season.

The 20-time Ghana international came through the ranks at Atletico after joining the club in the summer of 2012. Playing for the club’s youth teams and reserve sides, Partey has now clocked up 172 outings in all competitions under Simeone.

He is expected to draw closer to the 200-mark between now and the end of the season, but he may find himself at a new club before the start of the 2020-21 campaign. That is because Arsenal have made an offer to sign Partey, as per Libertad Digital.

Indeed, it is believed Arsenal are in talks with the midfielder’s representatives in order to convince him with a move to north London. However, Atleti are also locked in contract negotiations, as they look to remove his bargain release clause.

Arsenal fans reacted on Twitter to the reported news that their club are interested in signing Partey this summer, and many are desperate to see the tough-tackling midfielder join Mikel Arteta’s revolution.
