According to Fabrizio Romano, Thomas Partey is expected to stay at Arsenal for the upcoming season unless a substantial offer arrives for the Ghanaian midfielder.
Partey holds a crucial role at the Emirates and has been an integral part of Arsenal’s squad. Despite Arsenal reinforcing their midfield during this transfer window with the signing of Declan Rice, Partey’s position at the club remains secure.
There were previous links to Juventus and clubs in Saudi Arabia for a potential transfer, but those reports have yet to materialise into concrete offers.
After losing Granit Xhaka, Arsenal is eager to retain Partey, one of their key players in the midfield. The player himself also appears willing to stay and continue contributing to the team.
Mikel Arteta recently confirmed Partey’s continuation at the club, and Romano’s assessment aligns with this stance on the future of the former Atletico Madrid midfielder.
He said on his Here We Go Podcast:
“Also, the feeling is that it will only change with a big proposal, otherwise Arsenal are very happy to continue with Thomas Partey, I’m also told that he returned to pre-season in very good shape and a good mentality and Mikel Arteta is very happy with his approach.
“Arteta is very happy with the player and how he’s beginning this new season, so everything is under control with Arsenal and Thomas Partey.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Although we have bolstered our midfield with some new players, Partey is one man we still need in the current squad.
Rice might struggle to settle in and we would need Partey to keep playing to ensure we keep the standard we had last season.

The fact it took so long for the gaffer to make a statement Thomas Partey is staying, tells me someone was toying with the idea of selling the world class player.
Seems our memory is really short, the only victory at old Trafford most of us can remember was single handedly won by the Ghanaian.
But Thomas Partey single handedly winning the match against Barcelona mid week may tickle our memory how immense this player has been for us.
Any player that firmly puts Ilkay Gundogan in their back pocket is no ordinary player, make no mistake, Partey was and is crucial to what Arsenal have evolved into under the gaffer.
His combination and press resistance, passing quality and defensive awareness are a rare blend among any player in world football.
Buying Rice and selling Partey makes ZERO sense. Partey is Still the engine of the team. He should not be sold.
Hi Gunsmoke.
I agree with you 1000%.
It is important to keep the core of the team together.
Anyone who thinks Partey should be sold because of the dip in form he experienced towards the end of last season should habe a rethink. Arteta should discontinue that Partey at right back experiment.
👍🏻👍🏻
I’m just happy that partey is staying.
