Ghana boss Charles Akonnor doesn't want Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey to join Arsenal.

Partey is a big money target for the Gunners.

And Akonnor is quoted by The Sun stating on Ghanaian radio: “I honestly wouldn't want Thomas Partey to join Arsenal.

“That is because with Atletico Madrid, he will always play in the Champions League.

“His position is guaranteed, and he will always play.

“It will be difficult for Arsenal to qualify for the Champions League, so I would urge him to stay in Madrid.

“Arsenal fans will kill me for saying this!"
