Arsenal Looking to Offload Injury-Prone Thomas Partey to an Unnamed Saudi Pro League Side
Arsenal are looking to change their midfield and are listening to offers for the 31-year-old. Reports have indicated that the player’s representatives are in conversations with a yet-to-be-named Saudi Pro League side about a possible transfer.
Thomas Partey would be a welcome addition to any Saudi Pro League side that may secure his signature, provided he stays fit. He’s a versatile player who can play in central midfield and deputize at right back. He loves a tackle and has an above-average passing range. Partey brings with him a skillset to read the game, dictate the match’s tempo, and make timely interceptions.
With 33 appearances in the 2022-23 season, Partey’s performance was marred by recurring injuries, limiting him to just 14 appearances in the recently concluded 2023-24 season. As he enters the final 12 months of his contract, there have been no indications of contract renewal discussions.
This situation has put Arsenal in a position where they are considering cashing in on the Ghanaian international to avoid losing him for free next summer. The funds from the potential sale could be crucial as Arsenal is eyeing a young midfielder to bolster their squad and partner Declan Rice.
Partey’s potential move to the Saudi Pro League could be a game-changer for his career. With a less demanding schedule, he could have more recovery time, potentially reducing the risk of injury recurrence that has plagued him. This could lead to a significant improvement in his performance, making him a key player for his new team.
