Arsenal Morning Headlines As Thomas Partey 'Wants' Move And Matteo Guendouzi Interest Expressed


The Atletico Madrid midfielder’s name continues to dominate the gossip columns when it comes to Arsenal, who have prioritised adding Brazilian duo Willian and Gabriel Magalhães so far.


The latest on Thomas Partey, from Goal (via Sports Mole), is that the player himself is keen on leaving the Spanish capital for Arsenal this summer.

However, Arsenal need to balance the books and may need to sell in order to bring in any more players.

It had previously been reported that Ainsley Maitland-Niles was close to an Emirates exit, but the academy graduate now looks set to stay as Mikel Arteta’s first-choice right wing-back, while Hector Bellerin has received interest from Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal have started their 2020/21 preparations on a positive note, beating Liverpool on penalties in the Community Shield at Wembley to claim their second piece of silverware under Arteta.

It’s not been confirmed who featured or scored for Arsenal, but it’s thought to have been a mix of first-team and Under-23s players.
