Arsenal star Thomas Partey emerge as transfer target for two Italian clubs

There is growing speculation that Thomas Partey, the Arsenal midfielder, could be on the verge of a move to Italy during the summer transfer window, as several Serie A clubs have expressed strong interest in signing him.

Although the 29-year-old has been a key player for Arsenal this season, his form has dipped in recent matches, highlighting the need for the club to strengthen their squad.

Arsenal’s primary target for the upcoming transfer window is believed to be Declan Rice from West Ham. The Gunners are eager to secure the services of the talented English midfielder, and West Ham may be open to selling him to a Champions League club if they receive an offer exceeding £100 million.

In addition to Rice, Arsenal also have their eyes on Moises Caicedo from Brighton.

Manager Mikel Arteta has also been linked with a potential move for Ilkay Gundogan, an experienced midfielder from Manchester City. Gundogan’s contract with City expires this summer, presenting an opportunity for Arsenal to acquire his services.

However, it is worth noting that Gundogan may choose to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium, and there is also interest from Barcelona in signing him.

As the transfer window approaches, Thomas Partey’s future at Arsenal remains uncertain. The allure of a move to Italy and the Serie A could be appealing to the Ghanaian midfielder, with several clubs vying for his signature.

Arsenal will need to carefully evaluate their options and make strategic decisions to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.

Partey currently has two years left on his contract with Arsenal, having joined the club on a five-year deal from Atletico Madrid in 2020.
