Arsenal are prepared to triple Thomas Partey's current wages to ferry him away from Atletico Madrid.

The Gunners are front runners to secure the transfer of the 27-year-old - who has a £45m release clause in his contract at the Wanda Metropolitano - this summer.

AS says Arsenal could vastly improve his wages, the same outlet reports that Napoli are hot on their heels.

The report adds the Serie A side are willing to offer Poland international Arek Milik in a player-exchange deal.

Milik has scored 47 goals in 113 appearances for the Italian outfit and is said to be Diego Simeone's number one attacking target.
