Fichajes.net claims Thomas Partey has not been good enough for Arsenal and that could force them to sign another midfielder.
Arsenal paid the Ghanaian’s release clause to sign him from Atletico Madrid in 2020. This was because they were convinced he would take them to the next level.
He has struggled for much of his time in London, but in recent months, there have been considerable improvements in his performances.
Despite that, the report claims he is not what Arsenal wants, and they will sign another player who can give them the performance they desire.
Brighton’s Yves Bissouma has now been identified as the player they hope to add to their squad when the transfer window reopens.
The Malian will not extend his deal with the Seagulls, and because it expires in 2023, it will force them to cash in on him in the summer.
Liverpool also wants to sign him, and the two rivals will go head to head to sign the former Lille player.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Partey has not been such a bad buy as this report wants to portray him, but the Ghanaian can and will improve.
He also doesn’t have to be in a poor form before we add more players to our squad. Albert Sambi Lokonga has proven he cannot replace the Ghanaian, and Bissouma will be a better backup to the former Atletico man.
Its very funny how after two embarrassing defeats and damaging performances that we are now reading how Arsenal are going to get this that and the other player, as if it will put right the wrongs. It is like trying to deflect the issues that are building up. We haven’t finished the season and we are having to read bogus transfer rumours one after the other.
BUT REGGIE, YOU KNOW AS WELL AS WE ALL DO THAT THIS SITE WOULD NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT ITS DAILY QUOTA OF FALSE RUMOURS.
ON IN FIVE HUNDRED HAS ANY GERM OF TRUTH IN THEM AND ALL THE OTHERS ARE FAKE NEWS. FAKE RUMOURS IS THE LIFEBLOOD OF THIS SITE.
IT FRUSTRATES ME TOO, as I dislike dishonesty but best to just ignore it all.
@Reggie,lol.
Is Bissouma better than Partey? I don’t think so. Need to keep Partey and get better midfielders to play with him, and to rotate with him. I like Lokanga and think he’ll do ok, but need better players than Xhaka (Yeah, I know he does a job, but you know) and Elneny (Again, ok but not “Next level” for Arsenal
Facts are we need more players in our squad to replace all the dead-wood we’ve cleared out, it’s shocking how just two players getting injured has all but derailed our top4 chance (not being funny but even a 5yr old could have seen this coming). I’m a big fan of MA8 but the board and that Edu need to seriously have a good look at themselves and stop making the same Efffff’ups we’ve gotten sooo accustomed to witnessing and if we don’t play CL next season, Edu’s position as the man heading our “in’s and outs” would be untenable in my opinion. Don’t think he’s at a level to be leading a great club like Arsenal as director of football and we’d need someone new to get the maximum out of player sales nd negotiating contracts etc! I love my club and finally taught the days of us getting bullied on the pitch were done n dusted but our last two games after the internationals were abysmal and very disheartening and questions have to be asked.
COYG!!!
Going by this trend i don’t see us getting even 10 points in the remaining fixtures and believe it or not united might leapfrog us even westham and we end up with a conference league! Arteta knowing that he has a thin squad should have set them better defensively and let the guys depend on counter football but he wants to play like his father pep!!!
Nah, hard worker off the ball and seems to like the London club, but not tidy enough
Not in the mould of the ball playing midfielder that’s fit our style, the noise seems more like from his agent
I’m sure we have teenagers that are capable of filling up the loose spaces,
Arteta seems scared of taking risk,
I’ve said and saying it again,
I’m sure Miguel-Elneny-Xhaka can handle the midfield, Lokonga can always join in the 2nd half till he’s strong enough to lead,
As for Patino, he ain’t ready, Tavares should be carefully integrated, maybe given a more advance role to build helps confidence.
