Partey’s deal expires on June 30th and, according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, he will take time to assess his options before deciding on a new club.
Arsenal have already addressed their midfield with the imminent signings of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad and Christian Norgaard from Brentford.
It’s understood that they will now priortise a move for a number nine as they seek to end their five year trophy drought.
