Thomas Partey walks away from Arsenal as his deal runs out today. The Ghana midfielder spent four years at the Emirates after Arsenal paid big money to bring him over from Atletico Madrid back in 2020. Arsenal bosses tried hard to keep the 32-year-old around for more seasons. Both sides talked about a new contract but could not agree on the details. Partey becomes a free agent and can sign with any team that wants him.

Mikel Arteta relied heavily on Partey during the recent campaign. The energetic midfielder appeared in 52 matches across different competitions. His work rate and passing ability made him important to how Arsenal played. The team will miss his experience and leadership qualities. Arteta must find someone else to fill that role for next season.

Partey first joined Atletico Madrid when he was just a teenager in 2012. He worked his way up through their system before becoming a first team regular. The midfielder played 188 games for the Spanish club and found the net 16 times. He helped Atletico win the Europa League trophy in 2018 and reach the Champions League final two years earlier.

Several top clubs want to sign the former Tema Youth player. Barcelona and Juventus have shown interest in bringing him to their squads. Teams from the Saudi Pro League also hope to tempt him with attractive offers. Partey can take his time deciding where to continue his career.
