Arsenal are reportedly eyeing a January transfer for Fulham star Joao Palhinha in a move that could supposedly end Thomas Partey’s Gunners career, it has been claimed. Clubs from across Europe are lining up to sign Palhinha after a move to Bayern Munich failed in the summer.

Palhinha has continued to shine for Marco Silva’s Fulham and could reportedly be on the move in January. The 28-year-old is reportedly wanted by Arsenal as Mikel Arteta plans another midfield addition.
Fulham had to turn down a £55m offer from Bayern in the final days of the summer window. The Cottagers were unable to source a replacement, with a bid for Manchester United’s Scott McTominay reported to have failed.
Arsenal want to sign another midfielder to compete with Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and club captain Martin Odegaard. According to the Mirror, a deal for Palhinha would end Ghana international Partey’s career in north London.
Partey has been a key player for Arsenal over the last few years, helping the Gunners compete for the Premier League title last season. But the addition of Rice and a campaign hampered by injuries have pushed the 30-year-old out of the picture.
