Thomas Partey has made it clear why Arsenal should allow Newcastle to sign Kalvin Phillips despite previously being interested in the England midfielder themselves. According to 90mins, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Newcastle are all keeping a close eye on Kalvin Phillips’ contract situation, and Arsenal should leave them to it.
The Gunners will be in desperate need of a midfielder in the summer transfer window due to the number of outgoings that are expected. However, Partey’s dominance in the number six role that Mikel Arteta has recently assigned him has highlighted that Arsenal do not need a player of Phillips’ profile.
The Leeds midfielder has made a name for himself in the Premier League in the last two seasons. He has also done this at international level by being able to break up play, dictate tempo and sit in front of the defence.
