ARSENAL TO ACTIVATE RELEASE CLAUSE OF HIGHLY RATED GHANIAN MIDFIELDER THIS SUMMER
Arsenal are ready to activate the €50m (£42million) release clause of Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey when the summer window opens, according to Libertad Digital.
The Ghana international has been consistently linked with a move from the Spanish capital to the Emirates Stadium, including during the recent January transfer window.
However, Atletico are not keen on losing their influential midfielder and are keen to secure him to new terms - but the fact that his release clause is a relatively low figure of £42m means there are some doubts.
For his part though, Partey is also keen to stay at the club, saying: "Atletico is my home, the club that gave everything, where I want to be. My agent is talking to the club about the renovation. I hope everything goes well."
