Merson: Partey is best signing of the summer

Gunners legend Paul Merson has described Thomas Partey as one of the best signings of the summer. Partey was brought in from Atletico Madrid for around £ 45 million. Thus, he has become one of the expensive acquisitions in the Premier League this summer.

Even then, the midfielder has shown excellent form in all of the matches. In fact, the Ghanaian has been a crucial asset for Arsenal in Europe and domestic matches. Partey has helped Arsenal breakup play like never before and it has allowed little space and time for the opposition. A recent example of his excellent performance came in the 1-0 success over Manchester United. Read more

I believe a man has to give his best as long as he is somewhere, with all his commitment and energy. I would like one day to know I worked with all my energy until the last day. I would like to look back and think I finished this love affair well.” Read more

Olivier Giroud’s agent hints at potential winter exit for Frenchman

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud could reportedly pursue a fresh challenge away from the Emirates in January, agent Michael Manuello has claimed. The France international has been sparingly used by Arsene Wenger in the Premier League with just one start during the course of the current campaign.

Speaking on FootMercato, Manuello hinted that his client could seek a fresh challenge in the New Year but a return to France is not on the player’s mind, he said: “Olivier will not come back to France. Unless there is a change in his state of mind, to date the intention is not to return to France. There has been no new approach from Marseille. I have no information that Marseille was trying to contact us. Now, depending on the offers, we will sit around a table and talk. The most important thing is to know what will be offered or not this winter, to find a better project.”
