Thomas Partey will earn a staggering £250,000-a-week when he finally completes his move to Arsenal, according to The Guardian.

The Ghanaian has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium throughout the transfer window and the saga looks to be drawing to a close.

With hours left of the transfer window, the Gunners have decided to activate the £45 million release clause in the contract of the 27-year-old.

Partey is an Atletico academy graduate rising through the ranks to become one of the best holding midfield players in Europe.

He has made 188 appearances for Los Rojiblancos and Diego Simeone will be gutted to lose his player so close to the deadline.

Partey is solid in and out of possession and his strength in front of the back four will be a vital asset to Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta will be delighted to finally get his man and it could see Arsenal end their hunt for a successor to the likes of Patrick Vieira and Gilberto Silva.

In recent years Arsenal have had a soft underbelly and been extremely easy to play against.

Under Arteta, there have been signs of that changing but the signing of Partey will give them a midfield battering ram who could prove the envy of the league.

Class

Partey’s wage represents how much he will be valued by the Gunners and he will sit as one of the club’s best-paid players.

The 26-time international will also land himself a seven-figure signing on fee once the deal is completed.

It is thought that a medical will take place in Madrid and a deal looks set to go through before the deadline.

It’s fair to say Arteta will be delighted to add the missing link to his squad and will now fancy his chances of a strong season.
