With every passing day, the reports are seeming more and more true.
Alexandre Lacazette is being tipped to join the Spanish club Atletico Madrid while Arsenal are set to sign Thomas Partey in return. It would be a return deal that both clubs are keen on. They have seemingly accepted the deal and it could well be wrapped up in the early weeks of summer.
Thomas Partey is a player who plays in midfield and is one of the best enforcers in the modern day game. He is hard, tackles rough and loves a physical battle in the middle of the game. He breaks up opposition attacks, can start counters and on ocassions loves to drive up with the ball at his feet like bulldozer.
Lacazette is a more suave player who plays as a striker and can be a brilliant false 9 or number 10. Atletico will definitely be able to use his quality but do not necessarily need him since they have Joao Felix, Alvaro Morata and Diego Costa.
However, for Arsenal, they desperately need a player in midfield. Partey could well be the enforcer who will give them much needed steel at the back.
So from our end, if we get to keep Auba, losing Laca and getting Partey might just be the sweeter deal for the Gunners.
