Mikel Arteta now ready to sell £200,000-a-week Arsenal player, he’s currently not happy under Arteta at the moment
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is willing to sell Thomas Partey in the January transfer window, according to a report.
Football Transfers have reported that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and defensive midfielder Thomas Partey have come to an agreement that he could leave the Gunners in the middle of the season.
Mikel Arteta willing to sell Thomas Partey from Arsenal in January
Juventus are reportedly interested in Partey as a potential replacement for Paul Pogba.
According to Football Transfers, Partey is not happy playing at right-back for Arsenal at the moment and held discussions with Arteta over his future before the international break.
The £200,000-a-week (Spotrac) midfielder is injured at the moment and is unlikely to play before October 2023.
Football Transfers has reported that Arsenal have decided that they will listen to offers for Partey, and that Arteta is happy for him to leave in January 2024.
Potential mistake from Arsenal regarding Thomas Partey
We do not think that Arsenal should sell Thomas Partey in the middle of the season.
Yes, Partey has been playing at right-back so far this season, but you never know how the situation could evolve in the coming weeks and months.
Partey did well for Arsenal last season, and with the Gunners aiming to win the Premier League title this season, the North London club do need to make sure that they have the strongest squad possible.
If Arsenal do want to offload Partey, then they should not at the end of the season and not in January.
Partey has made 84 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The midfielder has scored five goals and given three assists in those games.
