Partey Teases Arsenal Future as Contract Nears End

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey wants to remain at the club but cannot control his future. The Ghana player said his agent and Arsenal must decide about a new contract together. Partey explained that happiness and family comfort matter most when choosing where to play. His current deal expires soon but talks continue between both sides. Manager Mikel Arteta hopes to keep the midfielder at Emirates Stadium.

Partey told reporters he focuses on enjoying football rather than contract negotiations. The 31-year-old considers several factors before making career decisions about his next move. Arsenal remains interested in extending his stay at the North London club. Family happiness ranks high among his priorities when evaluating different options. Partey believes younger players can move anywhere but experienced players need stability.

Arsenal pursues Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi as a potential replacement option. The club lost Jorginho during the summer transfer window and needs midfield depth. Zubimendi could provide quality if Partey decides to leave Emirates Stadium. Arsenal wants to strengthen their squad before the season begins. The club continues working on multiple transfer targets across different positions.
