Transfer News: Arsenal moving closer to signing Atletico Madrid star
The Gunners are allegedly moving closer to a deal for Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey.
The Ghana star is reputed to be a target for the Gunners ahead of the 2020-21 season, and an ongoing report recommended that Arsenal could hope to utilize a £3m jackpot from Liverpool’s Premier League title win as a major aspect of their endeavors to sign the midfielder.
Thomas Partey has dazzled in the central role for Atletico this season, playing multiple times for Diego Simeone’s side over all competitions and scoring three goals and one assist.
As indicated by report, Arsenal are very nearly doing what needs to be done for the 27-year-old in spite of the financial related concerns emerging from the coronavirus pandemic.

Thomas Partey’s present deal at the Wanda Metropolitano is set to lapse in the summer of 2023.
