Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided an update on the future of Thomas Partey.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One of the most experienced players in the Arsenal <br>
<br>
squad, Partey has produced some hugely impressive performances so far this season.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However, there is uncertainty regarding where Partey will be <br>
<br>
playing next season given that his current deal expires at <br>
<br>
the end of June next year.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Arteta was asked about Partey's situation at his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's game away to West Ham. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Partey was one of the major signings early in Arteta's Arsenal tenure as he arrived at the club from Atletico Madrid in October 2020.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Ghana international has gone on to make 133 <br>
<br>
appearances for Arsenal so far, though his stint has been repeatedly punctuated <br>
<br>
by injuries. <br>

<b>Arteta has been impressed by the performances Partey has produced for Arsenal this season</b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Arteta is pleased with the impact that Partey <br>
<br>
has made this season and indicated that discussions will be held about his future in due course. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
From January, Partey will be able to secure a pre-contract <br>
<br>
agreement with a foreign club if he hasn't signed <br>
<br>
a new deal with Arsenal.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
As reported by Football.London, Arteta <br>
<br>
said: 'We will have the right time to discuss about the situation.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'He is showing consistency at the highest level, again because his <br>
<br>
availability and the way that he feels physically is allowing him to <br>
<br>
do that, and I am very pleased with that.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It will be intriguing to see whether Partey will be able to retain his place in the starting <br>
<br>
lineup for the remainder of the season, with Arteta having various options to choose from in midfield.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
At present, Arteta's first-choice midfield trio appears to be comprised of Partey, Declan Rice <br>
<br>
and Martin Odegaard. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However, Arteta can also call upon Mikel Merino and hugely talented youngster Ethan Nwaneri, while Jorginho is <br>
<br>
an alternative choice in Partey's position at the base of the midfield.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In addition to his tough-tackling displays, Partey has also contributed with two goals for Arsenal in the Premier League so far this season, the most <br>
<br>
recent of which was a superb strike in the victory against Nottingham Forest last weekend. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Arteta says Arsenal will hold discussions regarding Partey's future when the time is <br>
<br>
right</b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Arsenal return to action against West Ham on Saturday with an intriguing home game against Manchester United to follow on Wednesday.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
At the age of 31, Partey may not represent a long-term option for Arsenal but he is <br>
<br>
performing impressively and the club will be eager to keep him.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Partey will be determined to help Arsenal secure silverware this <br>
<br>
campaign given that the only trophy he has lifted <br>
<br>
with the club so far was the Community Shield at the start of last season.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Arsenal are currently in fourth place in the Premier League, while they are seventh in the Champions League league phase table and are through to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, where they will host Crystal Palace. <br>
