Three midfielders Arsenal should target in January transfer window to replace Thomas Partey
Thomas Partey’s time at Arsenal has been dominated by a plethora of injury problems. The Ghana international has shown he can be world-class when fully fit but recently that is something that has rarely occurred.
In fact, the 30-year-old has missed a total of 52 games since joining from Atletico Madrid a little over three years ago. For comparison, fellow Gunners midfielder Declan Rice has missed just seven matches in that period, as per Transfermarkt.
Considering Mikel Arteta’s side are in with a chance of winning this season’s Premier League title, they need players they can rely on. Partey doesn’t seem to be one of them.
football.london understands that the the former Atletico manunderwent a procedure which will now rule him out for the remainder of the year. So, we’ve taken a look at three different midfielders that the north London outfit should look at signing to replace Partey.
Real Sociedad’s main man Martin Zubimendi has been heavily linked with a move to north London in the past and football.london understands that one of the Gunners are still tracking the Spanish international ahead of the January window. Zubimendi has been of interest for a while now and has a €60million (£52million) release clause in his contract, a fee that would represent a bit of a bargain given the current state of inflated transfer fees, especially regarding to midfielders.
