North London side, Arsenal FC, have intensified their interest for Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey, who has also been followed up by other European clubs.
Despite the fact that the London club have been tasked with cost-cutting, which included the suggestion that key players such would take a 12.5% pay cut over the next 12 months.
Arsenal are said to have bid a £43.5 million release clause for Partey’s services. Therefore, a big-money bid for Partey is not in keeping with Head of Football Raul Sanllehi’s current approach.
