Arsenal star Thomas Partey has been spotted putting in extra work ahead of his return to Arsenal for pre-season training. The 30-year-old was a crucial player for Mikel Arteta during the Gunners' Premier League title challenge last term - but his form dropped off in the final stretch of the season.
Reports have stated that there were concerns amongst the Arsenal hierarchy regarding Partey's drop off in form and performances which sparked speculation that he could be sold this summer. Juventus are among the clubs thought to be interested in the Ghana international, but there is yet to be a formal approach for his signature.
football.london understands that Granit Xhaka is on the verge of completing a £13million transfer to Bayer Leverkusen - but a move will only be sanctioned once a replacement is signed. Mikel Arteta is looking to revamp his midfield options ahead of next season as the Gunners push to complete a £105million deal to sign West Ham United captain Declan Rice.
