Juventus make Thomas Partey transfer decision after Arsenal handed huge boost

Thomas Partey has attracted plenty of interest from Juventus and Saudi Arabian clubs in the past few months. The Ghana international has dropped down the pecking order at Arsenal after struggling with injuries towards the end of 2023.



The 30-year-old has only made four appearances in the Premier League so far this season and remains sidelined with a hamstring issue. Partey's latest injury has kept him out since early November and he is not set to return to action until later this month.

When asked if Partey could return before the African Cup of Nations kicks off this month, Mikel Arteta told the press: "There is a chance, yes. We’ll have to see.



"They [Partey and Tomiyasu] haven’t trained yet so they’re still far away off that. Hopefully they can evolve in the right way."

The Gunners have been handed a huge boost with the official squad for Ghana's upcoming African Cup of Nations campaign confirming that Partey will not be involved for them in the tournament. Arteta will welcome the extra option in midfield as Arsenal continue their Premier League title challenge, whilst rivals like Liverpool lose key players in Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo.

It's unclear yet when Partey will return from injury and given the uncertainty, Juventus have now withdrawn their interest in the 30-year-old midfielder, according to Calciomercato. Massimiliano Allegri‘s request for reinforcements have led to a search for quality players, but the club’s financial constraints have seen the Italian giants take a cautious approach to spending.

Partey is now valued at just €20million (£17m) following his injury woes this season - as per CIES Football Observatory - almost half the price that the Gunners valued him at over the summer. Arsenal's only hope of selling the Ghana international now rests on Saudi Arabian clubs after Juve look to alternative options to strengthen their midfield.

Arsenal should be ‘in the conversation’ to sign Kylian Mbappé, says Mikel Arteta

Image
  Mikel Arteta says Arsenal should be “in the conversation” for the signature of Kylian Mbappé after the striker’s summer departure from Paris Saint-Germain was confirmed, even though Real Madrid remain favourites to complete a deal. Mbappé’s contract expires in June and he has informed PSG that he will leave at the end of the season, either by running down his deal or extending it and earning his employers a transfer fee. Real are long-term suitors but an agreement is yet to be struck with the player and his representatives, theoretically leaving the door open for an English club to step in. “When there is a player of that calibre, we always have to be in the conversation,” Arteta said, before referring to Real’s interest. “But . . . it looks to be in a different way.” Asked whether that meant Arsenal were involved in any discussions about Mbappé, he replied: “I am not. Maybe Edu [the sporting director] and the owners are, but I am not in those conversations until the last stage.”...

Saka nets brace as Arsenal hammer Burnley to close gap again

Saka nets brace as Arsenal hammer Burnley to close gap again Bukayo Saka scored twice for the rampant Gunners REUTERS Liverpool’s win over Brentford earlier in the day had moved them five points clear at the top, but the Gunners responded in fine fashion to reduce the deficit back to two and keep themselves firmly in the Premier League title race. Saka took his Premier League tally for the season to 12 goals, with Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz also on target for the rampant Gunners. Picking up from where they left off in the big win over West Ham, Arsenal did not even need five minutes to take the lead, as Gabriel Martinelli picked out Odegaard and the captain fired into the bottom corner from the edge of the area. Burnley never looked like causing the Gunners any real problems and the lead was doubled before the break. Leandro Trossard was brought down in the box and Bukayo Saka made no mistake from the spot, despite James Trafford going the right way. Saka needed ...

Big News: Marc Guéhi arrived at Arsenal confirmed contract signed! And warm welcome from Mikel Artete

Image
    Arsenal 'are chasing Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi'... with the Eagles 'set to demand a GIGANTIC fee in a summer bidding war for the England centre-back The Gunners are huge admirers of Guehi but know the centre-back, who cost £18million, is not on the market for the time being. That suits boss Mikel Arteta, who has a settled back line but sees Guehi as part of his long-term plans and is both willing and happy to wait, with the auction likely to be at the end of the season. Palace will demand a huge fee for the 23-year-old, who has also been linked with Manchester City, Manchester United — and even a return to Chelsea, where he came through the academy. City are in the market for a top centre-back and could even try their luck in January but the real bidding war is anticipated to be in the summer. Both United and Chelsea are going to be looking at Guehi down the line.And the Eagles are relaxed because they know the big guns will come armed with a massive offer. Chelse...

Onana agree pre contract with Arsenal as star set to Join Arsenal in January transfer window👇

Image
    Arsenal considering making a move for Amadou Onana Arsenal are reportedly considering making a move for Everton star Amadou Onana this summer, as per the transfer insider  Dean Jones . Onana to Arsenal Fabrizio Romano  has recently suggested that the Gunners are ‘advancing in negotiations’ with Everton to sign the 21-year-old and they have also been in contact with the player’s representatives in order to sort out the personal terms. It has been suggested that having signed Onana last summer, Everton aren’t willing to let their star man leave for cheap and want a fee of around  £60m  if they are forced to cash-in. So, Arsenal will need to spend big to acquire the 21-year-old’s services this summer. The youngster enjoyed a promising debut campaign in the Premier League last term, playing a key role in Everton’s survival. So, he could be a shrewd signing for Arsenal if they decide to sign him in this transfer window. It is going to be interesting to see w...

Arsenal beats Porto on penalties to reach Champions League quarterfinals

  Arsenal beats Porto on penalties to reach Champions League quarterfinals LONDON (AP) — Arsenal reached the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time since 2010 after beating Porto 4-2 in a penalty shootout on Tuesday, ending a streak of seven eliminations in the round of 16. David Raya saved Galeno’s spot kick to seal the win for Arsenal, which had won the game 1-0 to level the aggregate score at 1-1. Wendell also missed his penalty for Porto, hitting the post with his team’s second attempt at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal trailed 1-0 from the first leg in Portugal — when Galeno scored the winner deep into stoppage time — but went level through Leandro Trossard’s 41st-minute goal. Neither side could find another goal despite extra time as Porto’s disciplined defensive tactics largely held Arsenal at bay. Arsenal had been eliminated at this stage seven years in a row under Arsene Wenger between 2011-17, the last time the London club played in the competition. ___
