Arsenal have given the green light to the departure of Thomas Partey with Turkish giants Galatasaray in talks with the midfielder.

A report from Turkish publication Takvim has outlined how Gala have opened talks for the versatile midfielder, with an £8.5million bid for the player.

While that bid was unsuccessful, Arsenal have reportedly told them that a £12m offer would be sufficient to get a deal done.

Galatasaray vice-chairman Erden Timur has spent plenty of time negotiating a transfer and there is confidence on all sides that a deal can be done.

If the transfer is processed, it would end the midfielder’s three-year spell at Arsenal, where he has bagged five goals in 101 appearances.

However, asked if he expected Partey to stay, Mikel Arteta said: “Yes. Every time I spoke to him and had a conversation with him, he’s ready to stay with us. For me, there’s nothing there at all.”

The Gunners completed the £105million capture of Declan Rice from West Ham earlier this summer in a move that suggested Arteta was ready to let Partey depart.
