Thomas Partey’s tenure at the Emirates Stadium is coming to an end. The Arsenal midfielder is in his contract’s final year. Arsenal’s decision to allow him to be in such a situation clearly indicated that they were unsure about keeping him long-term.
The idea was that if Partey could stay fit, he’d have a chance to land a new contract. Many believe Arsenal is hesitant to offer him a new contract due to fitness concerns.
Interestingly, the former Atletico Madrid player has tried to maintain his condition in recent months. Partey has remained fit after playing the last five Arsenal league games of last season, two World Cup qualifiers for Ghana, and a full pre-season. Staying fit has also allowed him to start all of Arsenal’s games this season.
Partey fans may have been confident that he would eventually earn a new contract at Emirates Stadium if he remained fit. Unfortunately, that may not be the case. Following Mikel Merino’s signing, Football Transfers claims Arsenal has already decided upon Partey’s future.
The club appears to be so determined to part ways with him that for £15 million they may even do so during the winter transfer window. If these claims are accurate, Gunners should savour every time they watch Partey, who is on his last dance at Arsenal.
Let’s hope it’s a good one!

Perhaps the author, after today’s match, will prefer the club offer him a new contract, as he was shoulders above ANY midfielder today, including, of course, Declan Rice.
I think he will leave. I’m not sure why a club would bid £15m (or whatever) next January when they can sign an agreement with Partey in that window, so he joins them for free in the Summer. Unless they have a really pressing need in January, why spend any money?
still our best midfrielder
Certainly was today solwills.
Wrap him up in cotton wool til WHL.
Partey was awful today, got caught so many times with the ball, he just isn’t quick enough in decision making, Rice was daft and doing that when he knew he was on a yellow, Gabriel could have done more for their goal, it was a below par performance today. Havertz had a great chance to score, but Saka should have done better with his chance. Looking at City today, I can’t see us winning the PL, they look so strong in all positions, where we struggle in some positions. The injury to Merino hasn’t help, the Sterling loan is a strange one and I remain on the fence with that
