BREAKING: Arsenal midfield star verbally agrees new contract — only final details remain before official announcement

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has reportedly reached a verbal agreement to sign a new contract with the club.
 

The Ghana international's current deal expires this summer, and he had been expected to leave the Gunners on a free transfer.

However, recent reports suggest that Arsenal have opened talks with Partey over a contract extension.

It is understood that Mikel Arteta wants to keep the 31-year-old, and Partey himself is keen to stay in north London.

Despite being linked with several top European clubs — including Barcelona and former side Atlético Madrid — it now appears he will commit his future to the Emirates.

Transfer insider Sam C reports on X that Partey has verbally agreed a new deal with Arsenal.

Only a few details remain to be addressed before the extension is officially announced.
