Arsenal green light transfer to European giants as PL rivals make £30m Gunners star their ‘top target’ | OneFootball

Thomas Partey lifts the Community Shield

According to reports, Arsenal are willing to sell Thomas Partey this summer and he is being targeted by Serie A giants Juventus.

The Ghana international has been an important player for Arsenal since he joined the Premier League club in 2020 from Atletico Madrid for around £45m.

Partey has struggled with injuries during his time at Arsenal and while he has largely shone in the Premier League, his form dipped during the final few months of the 2022/23 campaign.

The midfielder has been heavily linked with a move away from Arsenal this summer and it has been expected that he will follow Granit Xhaka out of the club.

Partey has been targeted by the Saudi Pro League but he is also on Juventus’ radar. Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio is now reporting that the 30-year-old is “not blocked from Juventus” as Arsenal have made it clear to the Turin outfit that they “can get him if they want him”.

“Juventus talked to Partey and his agents a month ago and again in recent days once they understood that Frank Kessie went to Al-Ahli,” Di Marzio told wettfruende.

“Now Juventus want him but they will focus on Thomas if they sell Zakaria to Monaco and other young midfielders like Miretti.

“They understand that the timing of Pogba coming back may be a little while so they will only sign a new midfielder once they know how long it will take for Pogba to return.

“The player is not blocked from Juventus. They know they can get him if they want.”

Defender Kieran Tierney is another Arsenal player being linked elsewhere before the 2023/24 campaign gets going.

The Scotsman slipped down the pecking order following the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko and new signing Jurrien Timber is also capable of playing at left-back.

he is valued at £30m by Arsenal.

Football Transfers are now reporting that ‘Tierney is a shock target for West Ham who are willing to match any other offers from other clubs’. The report adds.
