The 24-year-old central defender - currently on loan at Fortuna Dusseldorf from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim - has outlined the similarity between Arsenal and Partey’s club Atletico Madrid.

Goal.com quotes Nuhu as saying about Partey: “Atletico Madrid is at very good club so he [Partey] is playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world and Arsenal is also one of the biggest.

“For me, it is his decision because playing in Atletico Madrid is the same as playing in Arsenal.

“The two teams always make the same category in the league fighting for the third and fourth place to play in the Champions League but as we all know the Premiership is the best league in the world so if he joins Arsenal, I will be happy for him.”

Arsenal Speculation

Partey has been linked with a move to Arsenal in the summer transfer window, with The Telegraph reporting that the Gunners are interested in signing the defensive midfielder.

The report has also claimed that the 26-year-old Ghana international himself is open to switching to the North London outfit this summer.

Stats

Partey has made 21 starts and three substitute appearances in La Liga for Atletico so far this season, scoring two goals in the process.

The Ghana international has also scored one goal and provided one assist in eight Champions League matches for the Spanish club this campaign.

Football in England and Spain is suspended at the moment, and it is not clear when the summer transfer window will open.
