Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey is attracting Premier League interest.

AS says Partey's excellent performances at the recent Africa Cup of Nations didn't go unnoticed in England.

Two clubs, West Ham and Middlesbrough are interested in taking the Atlético de Madrid midfielder to the Premier League next season, according to reports in Ghana.

The 23-year-old is under contract at Atlético until June 2020 and his buy-out clause has been set at 24 million euros.

While Atlético have been left unable to sign during the winter transfer window due to the FIFA transfer ban, Diego Simeone prohibited any departures. And the Atleti coach would be even more loath to let Thomas go now with Augusto and Tiago both out injured.
