Thomas Partey could well be leaving Arsenal this season, but the midfielder would prefer a move within Europe rather than to Saudi Arabia this summer.
Partey has been heavily linked with a move away from the Emirates this summer and he could be on his way out ahead of next season, with Mikel Arteta open to offers for the 30-year-old.
Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly interested in Arsenal’s midfielder, although he would prefer to remain in Europe for the foreseeable future according to Fabrizio Romano.

Partey joined Arsenal three years ago from Atletico Madrid and has become one of the most important players in Mikel Arteta’s squad over the last couple of years.
However after three years with the Gunners, it seems as if Partey is destined to play elsewhere next summer with ‘multiple clubs’ reportedly interested in the Ghanaian international.
Earlier in the week it had been reported that Partey was on Juventus’ radar this summer, with the Italian giants reportedly preparing a €20m bid for the Arsenal star.

Mikel Arteta is also looking to bring in Southampton’s Romeo Lavia and West Ham captain Declan Rice this summer, which could force Partey out of the squad.
However with the Gunners preparing for life in the Champions League next season, Partey could decide to stay at Arsenal and compete for a place in the team.
