With the midfield enforcer's contract set to come to a close next term, the man in charge of the dugout at the Emirates Stadium has given the clearest indication that fresh terms between both parties could be struck soon
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has stated that the contract situation of Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey would be addressed at the right time, with the 31-year-old told ''he’s showing consistency at the highest level'' in his game outings so far this season.
Many football pundits and connoisseurs have tipped the former Atlético Madrid man with a move away from the north London side given his injury-ridden career since linking up with them in 2020.
However, with his top form and glittering performances this term, his manager has hailed his fitness level with regards to his physical conditions and has given the clearest indication that his trusted midfield enforcer could see his current deal extend beyond next season.
''We will have the right time to discuss this situation,'' the Spanish gaffer said of the future of the Ghana international enforcer in a pre-match press conference ahead of their clash with West Ham United. ''He’s showing consistency at the highest level, again because his availability and the way he feels physically is allowing him to do that and I’m pleased with that.''
Partey has so far figured in 12 league games by netting twice for Arsenal in the ongoing 2024/25 English Premier League campaign.
He currently boasts of 49 caps for Ghana men's senior national team, the Black Stars with 13 goals to his name.
