Arsenal midfielder, Thomas Partey is reportedly attracting interest from Barcelona, who are considering making a bid for the Ghana international.
The 30-year-old Ghanaian has played a total of 251 minutes in the league this season. But he has not been a consistent starter for the Premier League side.
At the end of the season, Arsenal might try to cash in on him. According to Marca as reported by CaughtOffside, Barca are keeping an eye on the situation.
The former Atletico Madrid midfielder could prove to be a valuable short-term acquisition if they can sign him for an appropriate fee. The Spanish strongholds could definitely use additional quality and depth in the defensive midfield department.
Partey has experience playing in La Liga with Atletico Madrid. So the chance to join Barcelona may appeal to him, particularly if Arsenal are willing to cash in on the player.
It will be interesting to watch how things work out in the coming months. Real Sociedad midfielder, Martin Zubimendi is allegedly being watched by the Gunners as a possible replacement.
