Arsenal's long-term pursuits of Youri Tielemans and Mykhaylo Mudryk have prompted much transfer speculation to emerge over possible alternatives to the duo that the Gunners could sign. The latest link to a midfielder as a possible transfer acquisition instead of Tielemans comes in the form of AC Milan star Ismael Bennacer.
Reports from a few days ago indicated that Arsenal were preparing a "super offer" for Bennacer in the January transfer window that would also include a first-team star going the other way. Despite his commanding performances in midfield, Thomas Partey was the name mentioned as a possible departure for Bennacer.
CalcioMercatoWeb were the providers of the report claiming that interest was intensifying as the Gunners prepare a "super offer" of £17million in cash as well as Partey.
