Thomas Partey could be set for a move away from Arsenal this summer. Reports suggest that the 30-year-old midfield star is keen to join Juventus if he leaves the Gunners. Partey had been a key part of manager Mikel Arteta's side last season, but his future is now uncertain due to the imminent arrival of Declan Rice from West Ham.
Arsenal have now agreed a huge £105 million deal for Rice, who is due to undergo a medical on Friday. Partey meanwhile is not short of offers, with three Saudi Pro League clubs all interested in a move. However, according to CBS Sports, Partey's representatives have informed the Saudi clubs that he wishes to remain in Europe, with Juventus being his preferred destination. Unfortunately, the Serie A club have yet to submit an offer to Arsenal.
Even after signing Rice, Arsenal are still looking to bolster their midfield options. The Gunners have been linked with Southampton's Romeo Lavia, but are unwilling to meet the £50 million asking price. Liverpool and Chelsea have also expressed an interest in signing the 19-year-old.
Arsenal may also reignite their interest in Ecuadorian midfielder Moises Caicedo. The Gunners had multiple bids for the starlet rejected in January, but a summer transfer could be far more expensive. Brighton are holding out for a fee of £100 million, using Arsenal's Rice deal as a benchmark. Chelsea have held extensive talks with Brighton, but are only willing to go up to £80 million.
