Arsenal are reportedly preparing to let Thomas Partey leave at the end of the season, as his £150,000-a-week contract nears its June expiration.
According to the Daily Mail, the club plans to run down the Ghanaian midfielder’s deal, potentially freeing up funds for reinforcements in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners are also said to be open to offers for Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus, both signed in 2022, as part of a potential squad overhaul.
However, until departures like these are finalized, Arsenal may struggle to fund their priority signing of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.
The Swedish forward, with 15 goals and four assists this season, has drawn attention across Europe for his consistent performances.
Arsenal experienced his sharp finishing firsthand during their 2-0 defeat to Newcastle on 7 January, where Isak capitalized on a half-chance after Gabriel Martinelli’s crucial miss.
While Arsenal aim to secure Isak, injuries to Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri, and Raheem Sterling have raised concerns about depth on the wings.
The club may need to shift focus toward signing a winger instead.
Arsenal face tough decisions, including potentially parting ways with key players, as they strive to strengthen their squad for future success.
