Arsenal could risk Manchester United completing a bargain £30million deal to sign Thomas Partey this summer. The Gunners are closing in on the £105million signing of West Ham captain Declan Rice with the England international undergoing a medical this weekend.
The Hammers accepted Arsenal's £100million plus £5million add-ons proposal to sign Rice with the midfielder excited to work with Mikel Arteta at the Emirates Stadium. Kai Havertz has already completed a £65million move to Arsenal from Chelsea and the German could be deployed as a No.8 next season.
Granit Xhaka has already left the Gunners after completing a £21.5million move to Bayer Leverkusen after a successful seven-year spell in north London. Rice's arrival could spell the end of Partey's time at the Emirates Stadium with Juventus and multiple Saudia Arabian clubs interested in the 30-year-old.
