Transfer window: Juventus convinced of prising Thomas Partey ‘Yakubu’ from Arsenal

Juventus are convinced of prising Thomas Partey ‘Yakubu’ from Arsenal.

Tuttosport says Juventus are keen on bringing in the Ghanaian to play alongside Paul Pogba. Pogba is due to sign for Juve as he comes off contract at Manchester United.

However, any offer from the Serie A side will depend on whether they are able to move on Arthur Melo.

While the suggestion of an ‘ambitious’ swap deal involving Party and the Brazilian Melo has been flagged by the Turin club, no official offer has been lodged.

The 29-year-old Partey joined the Gunners for £45m in October 2020, but has seen his progress at the Emirates hampered by a series of niggling injuries.
