Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has shared insights on the ongoing contract discussions with midfielder Thomas Partey, emphasizing the club's commitment to securing his future.
Arteta remarked, “He’s only 31 and he’s in a really good place and yes, we’ll have discussions.”
Arteta commended Partey's dedication and performance, stating, “The one thing that we needed was Thomas to be at the level we wanted certainly. He’s working so hard to do what he’s doing at the moment.” He also highlighted Partey's adaptability and effectiveness in various roles, adding, “I think he’s playing really well in different positions with different demands and he’s coping with it in a great way. He’s a big player for us.”
Thomas Partey's current contract with Arsenal is due to expire at the end of June 2025. This timeline allows Partey to potentially negotiate a pre-contract agreement with other clubs starting January 2025 if a new deal with Arsenal is not finalized beforehand.
This season, Partey has been instrumental for Arsenal, appearing in 13 matches across all competitions. He has started in all nine of Arsenal's Premier League games, scoring one goal. Additionally, Partey has participated in three UEFA Champions League matches and one EFL Cup game. His consistent performances and versatility, including playing as a makeshift right-back, have been crucial for the team.
As Arsenal aims to secure Partey's future, his contributions on the field continue to highlight his importance to Arteta's squad. The upcoming contract discussions will be pivotal in determining whether Partey will extend his stay with the Gunners beyond the 2024/25 season.
