Thomas Partey is poised to finish this season with fewer than 20 league games due to ongoing fitness struggles, despite being a crucial player for Mikel Arteta at Arsenal.
Although the Gunners retained Partey in the summer, they might now regret not selling him, given his limited contribution this season. With one more season left on Partey’s contract at the end of this term, Arsenal is reportedly planning to replace him.
According to The Sun, Arsenal is eyeing Martin Zubimendi as a potential replacement for the Ghanaian midfielder. Zubimendi, who has consistently performed well at Real Sociedad in recent seasons, has caught the attention of the Gunners.
Mikel Arteta is reportedly keen to work with the 25-year-old Spaniard, who has evolved into a top player at Sociedad. Although Zubimendi resisted a move in the summer, Arsenal is hopeful that they can persuade him to join at the end of this season.
