Arsenal are expected to meet Atletico Madrid’s £45m release clause for Ghanaian international, Thomas Partey, as the Gunners look to secure a deadline day deal for the midfielder.
Partey has been linked with Arsenal throughout the window and although his £45m release clause has been an issue, the Gunners are hoping to free up wages and space in the squad before the window shuts at 11pm.
Matteo Guendouzi is on the verge of joining Hertha Berlin on loan, Lucas Torreira is set to sign for Atletico Madrid on loan, Bayer Leverkusen remain in talks over Sead Kolasinac, while the Gunners are listening to offers for Sokratis Papastathopoulos. They have not received any bids for Mesut Ozil, despite Mikel Arteta casting doubts over his future.
