“He [Partey] had better have his head here, because we are playing for big things and that’s what we expect,” Mikel Arteta has said when asked about Thomas Partey’s comments on the future.
“He’s our player, he’s got one more year on his contract and I’m really happy with him,” the boss added.
Here is what Partey said the previous day: “My head is always here. This is where I choose to play, I’m really happy every time I’m on the pitch. I know a lot of speculation has been going on, but for me, I’m really happy to be here and to continue playing for this club.”
Earlier, there were reports about Partey’s desire to come back to La Liga in case his Arsenal stay is not possible. Seems like the 30-year-old will end up staying at the Emirates despite his injury proneness.
Thomas Partey has only made nine appearances for the Gunners this season.
