Italian side Juventus has been reported as an interested party for Partey with Saudi Arabia clubs rumoured to be also interested in buying Partey.
However, renowned Sports Journalist Paul Brown offers a blunt and different report on Partey stating,
“I’m told that Arsenal are testing the market with Thomas Partey. So far, there’s very little interest in the player, I have to be blunt.
He really hasn’t achieved what he wanted to and he hasn’t been the player that people thought he might. He hasn’t really been the kind of dominant force, and while he’s shown it at times, it hasn’t been with any consistency.”
Partey completed his third season with the Gunners in the 2022-2023 season and had his best campaign since joining the North London side but his form dipped towards the end of the campaign and he lost his place in the starting unit to Jorginho.
