Partey could be available soon but Arsenal needs more men in midfield.
Arsenal could be forced to sign a new midfielder before the next transfer window opens after a number of their current options suffered from injuries.
The North London club wanted to sign a new man for that position on deadline day, but their offers for Aston Villa man, Douglas Luiz, were turned down by the Villans.
This forced them to abandon the pursuit while relying on Albert Sambi Lokonga after losing Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny to different injuries.
Partey is could be available after the international break.
But, the Gunners still needs more men in midfield, and a report on 90min says they are now considering a move for Xeka.
The 27-year-old is a free agent after leaving Lille at the end of last season, and he is now being considered a short-term fix to give the club much-needed depth in that part of the pitch.
