All Stats via FBref for the 24/25 League SeasonWhen you take into account this significant statistical advantage the "world-class" Spaniard has, as dubbed by former teammate Kieran Tierney, combined with the fact he's six years younger than the Gunners ace and substantially less injury-prone, it becomes much clearer who would be the better long-term option for Arteta's side.
Now, this doesn't mean the North Londoners couldn't offer Partey a short-term deal in the summer to keep him in the squad - his performances so far this season warrant as much - but if they can get their hands on Zubimendi, then they should, as he's an ideal upgrade on the 31-year-old.
