Arsenal make final call on Thomas Partey's future with Martin Zubimendi & Christian Norgaard transfers close to completion

The Athletic reports that Partey will exit Emirates Stadium after spending five seasons at the club. He joined Arsenal in October 2020 from Atletico Madrid and over the years established himself as a key player in the Gunners' roster. He won the Community Shield with the club in 2023.

While Partey is set to move out, Arsenal are reinforcing the central midfield area. They are on the verge of sealing moves for Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad and Christian Norgaard from fellow Premier League outfit Brentford.

The Gunners are also reported to be scouting a striker, as they chase RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres. Mikel Arteta is determined to strengthen the team's attack after losing out on the Premier League title race for the third season in a row.

The Gunners will be heading to Asia for their pre-season tour in July, as they are set to visit Singapore and Hong Kong and face clubs like AC Milan, Newcastle and Tottenham.
