Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey posted on Twitter that he was returning to the social media platform – and some Arsenal fans flooded his comments with responses to ask him to join them.

The 26-year-old is currently a key player for Spanish club Atletico and helped them eliminate current holders Liverpool out of the Champions League in the last 16.

He’s a no-nonsense defensive midfielder with a reputation that appears to be growing across European football and he’s shown he can impress on the elite stage.

Partey usually sits in a deeper midfield role in front of the back four and is an expert at breaking up play with his aggressive tackling and reading of the game.

The Ghana international is a perfect mould for Atletico manager Diego Simeone and it looks like he’s got the physical attributes to succeed in the Premier League if he ever moved to England.

According to the Telegraph, Arsenal are plotting a potential move to try sign Partey when the next transfer window opens and he’s high on the list of targets for manager Mikel Arteta.

The report details that the La Liga star has a £45million release clause at Atletico and the club are braced for approaches.

A selection of Arsenal supporters on social media have jumped straight to respond to their reported target Party after he posted on social media.

Here are some Gunners fans replying to Partey urging him to move to the Emirates Stadium:
