Arsenal have a very good midfield depth and they are getting good results. Mikel Arteta has done a very good job in sorting players and utilizing them. Mikel Merino has been the most recent addition to the midfield and has now made his debut. Arsenal want to keep the winning formula and hence are now set to hold talks with Thomas Partey.
Gunners have Jorginho, Partey, Declan Rice, Merino and Martin Odegaard in their midfield department. Leandro Trossard too can play as an attacking midfielder. Jorginho and Partey will be out of contract next year.
Arsenal to reward Thomas Partey with contract extension
Firstly, Partey was said to move away from North London this summer. But the deal never happened and Partey stayed at Arsenal. Mikel Merino was said to start the games in his place. But the Spanish star faced injury and was sidelined for a long term.
This gave Partey an another chance to shine and he took that with both hands. Partey has been amazing this season and has started all of the Premier League matches. In addition, he has also been able to find the back of the net once. He was also starter in both Champions League fixtures.
Mikel Arteta is very happy with Partey and has called him top player. Arteta thinks that Partey is important for his plans. He also said that Partey is in the best condition right now.
As per TBR Football, Gunners are now set to start contract negotiations with Partey. Partey earns £200,000 per week and has made 123 appearances for Arsenal. In those he has scored 6 goals and provided 4 assists.
Partey who is 31 years old is expected to accept the contract renewal despite the offers from Saudi Arabia. He has couple of good years still left in him at the top level before moving to Asia and securing his future.
