Arsenal haven't dropped their interest in Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey.

The Mirror says Partey has been consistently linked with a move to Arsenal over the course of the season, and the Gunners are waiting until the Ghanaian makes a contract decision at Atletico Madrid.

Partey is still engaged in talks with Atletico Madrid over a new contract which could keep him in the Spanish capital and raise the £45million release clause that has so many clubs interested in him this summer.

Arsenal, who view their midfield as a priority area to reinforce this summer, are waiting to discover the outcome of these talks before making a move for the 27-year-old.
