Arsenal have a new challenge when it comes to pointing out Thomas Partey to Juventus by joining the race for Atletico Madrid star, according to reports. Mikel Arteta wants to point to the ghanaian foreigner before the window of movement closes on October 5., it will be said to be done.
Arsenal have signed Willian, Gabriel Magalhaes and Pablo Mari to make this market.
But while the Gunners have made significant progress with Arteta since the Spanish appointed as coach, they still need more.
Arteta needs to hire a new midfielder, with Arsenal to get rid of Matteo Guendouzi amid the interests of Valencia and Lyon.
And Partey is his main goal of movement, having inspired Atlético with his quiet and composed performances for the giants of La Liga Diego Simeone.
However, Spaniard OkDiario claims that the Gunners have a new challenge with Juventus joining the race for the 27-year-old.
La Vieja has already signed Arthur Melo from Barcelona into a successful contract but, despite this, Andrea Pirlo needs more.

However, the report indicates that Juventus, which is expected to point out Luis Suarez, would possibly find it difficult to comply with the player’s forty-five million pound release clause.
In the case of a direct match between the two teams, Arsenal could miss the chance of not qualifying for the Champions League.
The Gunners finished eighth in Arteta, but will be in the Europa League next season after beating Chelsea to win the FA Cup in August.
Partey was recently asked to reject Arsenal because of this through former Ghanaian foreigner Derek Boateng, who said: “You will have to be in a position where you will be happy, reputable and have plenty of time to gamble.
“You can make as much money as you want, but if the coach doesn’t play with you, you may not be happy.
“I wouldn’t advise you to move to Arsenal at the moment because you’re a Champions League player and with the look of arsenal team at the moment, you’re not in position with the kind of players you have and some are moving.”

“They’re playing really well, but you can see the inexperience that hurts them and the way the Premier League is going right now, it’s going to be hard.”
“If you want to move, you have to move on to a team that plays in the Champions League or you’ll lose everything.”
Meanwhile, Arsenal legend Ray Parlor opened to Partey.
And he suggested to the club that he sell Lacazette to raise cash for the 27-year-old, and told talkSPORT, “Lacazette will be one, trump.
“You look at the assets they have, there are actually many.
“They have Aubameyang, but with him you probably wouldn’t get as much as you’d like because, for now, he only has one year of contract left.
“Trump will be Lacazette.I know Juventus could have sought to buy it.Sometimes you have to lose a player to bring in players.You want to freshen up the locker room.”
“I like Lacazette, he’s a decent player, but we have Eddie Nketiah and it’s about whether he can act now and as a centre forward.
“That’s what Arteta will look for in training, ” is that enough to play week after week as a striker?»
“Probably not right now, but you can do it and probably do it in a few years.”
