Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hinted that Thomas Partey’s departure from the club is a possibility, with the Ghanaian midfielder’s contract set to expire in the summer.
Arteta emphasized the importance of carefully managing Partey’s playing time due to his previous injury setbacks but remained tight-lipped about the midfielder’s future at the club.
While Arteta acknowledged that Partey’s contract situation needs to be addressed, he didn’t provide a clear indication of whether the club intends to offer him an extension.
The ambiguity has sparked speculation about Partey’s potential departure, with reports suggesting he could leave on a free transfer in the summer.
Partey has been integral to Arsenal’s midfield since joining, and his departure would likely significantly impact the team’s chances of success.
Arteta’s cautious approach to managing Partey’s playing time and reluctance to discuss his contract situation suggest the club may be preparing for life without him.
