Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has been the subject of speculation regarding his future at the club, as his contract is set to expire in 2025. However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has indicated that discussions will be held regarding a possible contract extension for the Ghanaian international. Arteta praised Partey for his current level of performance, stating that he is working hard and competing at a high level. He emphasized Partey’s importance to the team, referring to him as a “big player for us.”
At 31 years old, Partey may not have much room for improvement in the future. While it would be wise for Arsenal to start looking for a long-term replacement, Partey has been a standout performer for the club this season. Despite being linked with a return to Atletico Madrid, Partey could be tempted to stay in the Premier League with Arsenal if offered a new deal. Given his age and injury history, it is likely that any contract offered to him would be on a short-term basis.
Arsenal will be aiming to compete for major trophies, and Partey’s experience and quality could be vital in achieving that goal. Keeping him at the club in the short term could prove to be a strategic move, as he appears to be in peak form. Whether Partey can lead Arsenal to silverware this season remains to be seen, but his presence in the team could be crucial in their pursuit of success.
