Arsenal dealt Thomas Partey dilemma as Edu given decision to make

Arsenal are facing a conundrum over the future of midfielder Thomas Partey. The Ghanaian, who pockets more than £200,000 per week at the Emirates, is rapidly nearing the last six months of his contract, which runs out next summer.
From January, he will be free to negotiate a Bosman transfer with overseas clubs. As of yet, Arsenal have not indicated a desire to prolong the 31-year-old's spell at the Emirates.

But Partey has been in exceptional form this season, despite making only 14 Premier League appearances due to injury last term.

Jorginho's contract also expires next June, meaning currently, the Gunners risk losing two senior central midfielders on free transfers before the 2025-26 season.

Partey is one of the club's highest earners and given his struggle to maintain fitness since his transfer from Atletico Madrid in 2020, there are doubts about offering the player another lucrative contract.

Regardless of whether Partey stays or not, securing a high-profile defensive midfielder is anticipated to be among Edu's top transfer priorities next summer.
