Latest Arsenal transfer rumours: Thomas Partey deal, Man City star addresses Arsenal links

It has been a woeful return to Premier League action for Arsenal.

The Gunners have suffered back-to-back defeats away at Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion following a three-month break from football.

That has forced some supporters to look forward and speculate about what changes the club have planned.

And with that in mind, here are the latest Arsenal transfer rumours.

Mikel Arteta on Bernd Leno injury boost

Partey deal

Arsenal are reportedly preparing to trigger Thomas Partey’s £45million release clause at Atletico Madrid.

This is according to a report from Football Ghana, who state that Atletico are already working to replace Partey this summer.

The 27-year-old has also been strongly linked with the Gunners for a number of months now and is believed to be Mikel Arteta’s top target heading into the upcoming window.

Bravo addresses transfer links

Claudio Bravo has spoken about rumours linking him with a move to Arsenal this summer.

The current Manchester City goalkeeper has been linked with a move to the Emirates this summer after Gunners number one Bernd Leno picked up a knee injury at the weekend.

“There is nowhere in the world I would not consider playing,” Bravo told TVN - via The Metro - when asked about his future. 

“I’ve read the names of the clubs that have been linked with me and I regard that as an honour because they are very good clubs.

“I’m proud that I have attracted interest from the clubs mentioned. What I and my family are looking for is a club with stability and a comfortable environment to live.

“It depends on several factors, it depends on the club and the project that the club has. ‘I will consider all my options and make a decision soon.”

Guendouzi up for sale

Mikel Arteta is believed to be open to offloading Matteo Guendouzi this summer.

According to Sportsmail, the Gunners boss is growing frustrated with his midfielder over his antics.

Guendouzi clashed with match-winner Neal Maupay following Arsenal's defeat at Brighton on Saturday.

While the report also claims that while Arteta's back was turned, a distracted Guendouzi could be seen “messing about” at a time when the manager wanted full focus from his players during a training session.
