Thomas Partey is set to leave Arsenal
Arsenal's plans to convince Thomas Partey to extend his contract have failed, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Ghanaian midfielder will officially become a free agent in less than 24 hours.
The Emirates Stadium team has also prepared for this scenario by getting close to recruiting Christian Norgaard as an alternative. Arsenal is said to have agreed to pay around $19.05 million (£15 million) to Brentford to own the midfielder born in 1994.

Chelsea agrees to spend $76.2 million to buy Joao Pedro
Chelsea have agreed a fee of $76.2 million (£60 million) with Brighton for striker Joao Pedro, according to Sky Sports. The Brazilian star is likely to cut short his holiday in his homeland to travel to the US for a medical , before signing a seven-year contract with the West London club.
If the deal is completed in time, Chelsea can include Joao Pedro in the FIFA Club World Cup squad as the organizers allow players to be added between June 27 and July 3.
Previously, both Chelsea and Newcastle were very interested in the 23-year-old striker, but offers worth more than $63.5 million (£50 million) were rejected by Brighton. Determined to upgrade their attack, Chelsea acted more decisively and almost certainly won the deal.
