Thomas Partey’s future at Arsenal has been the subject of speculation for months. Injuries, interest from abroad, and his contract situation have all fueled the noise. But now, Arsenal are making their move—talks have begun over a new deal.
Partey, 30, still has two years left on his current contract. But with clubs from Saudi Arabia and Serie A circling, the Gunners are keen to shut down uncertainty early. And they have reason to. When fit, Partey remains one of the most influential midfielders in the Premier League. His ability to break up play, dictate tempo, and transition from defense to attack has been a cornerstone of Mikel Arteta’s system.
Sources close to the club say Arteta remains a big admirer of the Ghanaian international, even if injuries have limited his availability this season. The manager wants stability heading into next year, and Partey—if he stays healthy—can be that steadying force.
The talks are still in the early stages. No final decisions yet, and no guarantees. But Arsenal’s move to engage Partey now sends a message: they see him as part of the plan, not a piece to be moved on.
Fans will be watching closely. The midfield is already stacked with talent like Declan Rice and Jorginho, but Partey brings a unique presence when he’s on the pitch. The question is whether the club—and the player—are aligned on what comes next.
