Despite serious interest from European giants and financially dominant clubs in Saudi Arabia, Thomas Partey is ready to snub all advances and sign a contract extension with the North London side.
As Arsenal prepare for a crucial Premier League finale and continue to shape their squad for next season, the Ghana international appears set to deliver a major boost to Mikel Arteta by pledging his future to the club.
With the midfielder eligible to negotiate freely with other clubs, speculation had mounted over a potential exit. Spanish sides Barcelona and Atletico Madrid were reportedly monitoring his situation, while several Saudi Arabian clubs were prepared to offer him a massive financial package to lure him away from Europe.
Yet, according to reports from the Evening Standard, Partey has now made it clear that his priority is to remain in North London.
The former Atletico Madrid player has expressed a desire to stay and even hopes to finalize a new deal before Arsenal’s final league fixture against Southampton on May 25.
