Arsenal are preparing for a busy summer transfer window as they strive to build a squad capable of regularly challenging for major silverware.

Strengthening the midfield is one of their top priorities, but they will need to offload some players before adding to their squad.

Midfielders tipped for summer departure

Journalist David Ornstein has hinted that Thomas Partey and Jorginho could leave when their contracts expire at the end of the season.

In a Q&A on The Athletic, Ornstein said their exits could depend on whether Arsenal secure new midfield signings.

The Gunners are in advanced talks to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. He would be a strong addition to Arsenal’s midfield options.

While Arsenal are keen to refresh their squad this summer, keeping Partey for one more season could be a smart move.

Keeping Partey makes perfect sense

Partey may not start regularly if Zubimendi arrives, but his presence on the bench would add valuable squad depth. By contrast, Jorginho is past his best and should move on.

Keeping hold of Partey for one more season would help Arsenal manage their finances. They could focus on investing in their attack, which has been underwhelming.

Injuries and poor form have limited their options up front, and spending big on a forward must be the priority this summer.

Partey understands the demands of the Premier League. His leadership on and off the pitch could be vital while Zubimendi settles in.

Keeping Partey would maintain stability. If Arsenal can get the balance right, they could build a squad capable of challenging for silverware next season.

The decision on Partey’s future will be crucial, but keeping him for one more season would be a sensible move.
