David Ornstein provided some potentially important Arsenal forwarding news as it appears that Thomas Party may not have left the club after all.
Gunner is reportedly in discussions with parties over a new contract, and Ghana International is approaching free agency this summer.
Given his age and his injury record, it would have probably made sense for Arsenal to let go of the party when his current contract ended at the end of this campaign.
But Ornstein now appears to have changed Arsenal’s stance, and says the club is discussing new conditions at the 31-year-old Emirates Stadium…
This is similar to what Charles Watts had exclusively suggested. Catch off side Yesterday’s column, and it certainly would be considered good news for most Arsenal fans.
With Jorginho also about to close his contract, it was a big blow for the AFC to move two experienced midfield players for free in the same summer.
Thomas Party showed he still has an important role to play for Arsenal
Part has shined for Arsenal this season and has returned really strong for the club despite missing out on many of his previous campaigns through injuries.
Fitness was often a bit of a problem for Partey, but he now seems to have the worst problem behind him.
The former Atletico Madrid man has recently been fantastic for Arsenal in his Champions League quarterfinal victory against Real Madrid, bossing midfield with both feet.
As Ornstein mentions in the video above, if Martin Zubimendi is in the spot as expected, Partey may not play like next season, but it is clear that at least he has a role as a team player.
