Atletico Madrid star Thomas Partey would prefer a move to Arsenal over Paris Saint-Germain.

The 26-year-old Ghanian is likely to move on from the Spanish club in the summer transfer window.

Ghanasoccernet.com reports that Partey has options, but he wants to move to Arsenal and the Premier League.

Partey wants to emulate his idol Michael Essien, who played for Chelsea and won two Premier League titles, along with the Champions League.

It is unclear if Arsenal have the funds to secure Partey, as their budget this summer is reportedly very limited.

They may attempt to pursue a player swap plus cash deal with Atletico instead.
