All the latest Arsenal transfer news and gossip including updates on.
Partey ‘agrees’ exit
Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has agreed to join a Saudi Arabian club, according to ɾєρօɾτ in the Middle East.
The Ghanaian has been strongly linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium this summer and Declan Rice’s £105million move from West Ham has accelerated the rumours.
Partey was a key player in Mikel Arteta’s side last season, but the overhaul of the midfield has saw him one of many tipped to єɴԀ their time in north London.
Romeo Lavia move
The future of Partey is set to play a big role in the Gunners’ move to Romeo Lavia. The Southampton star, like Partey, is facing an uncertain future and has been linked with a move to Liverpool and Chelsea.
According to transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri, a ‘epic fight’ is incoming for the Belgian. Lavia is ɾєρօɾτedly a ‘main option’ for Arsenal to replace Partey.
Balogun on Inter radar
Folarin Balogun could be about to benefit from a transfer decision involving Chelsea. It has recently been ɾєρօɾτed in Italy that Inter Milan were withdrawing their interest in signing Romelu Lukaku this summer. Juventus are now the favourites to land the £35.2million-rated striker, though the Belgian is said to only want a return to Inter.
With Inter pulling out of the race for Lukaku, the door is now open for Balogun to secure a move to the San Siro. It’s understood that Inter are one of many teams monitoring Balogun’s situation at Arsenal and their decision to not make Lukaku’s move permanent could have a domino effect on Balogun’s future.
