The father of Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey has warned Arsenal they face competition to sign his son.

Thomas's father opened the door to a transfer by talking opnly about the release clause and saying he would support his son if he decided to leave Atletico.

"My son's current club Atletico Madrid has a release clause in Partey's deal… this means that any club which shows interest in signing him must meet those demands," Jacob Partey told SilverFM.

"So any team which meets Atletico's demand will be able to sign my son, and not specifically Arsenal.

"I always call my son and he is of age to decide on a move. I am ready to support his decision."
