Arsenal were able to sign Partey after triggering the £45m release clause in the midfielder’s contract with Atletico Madrid.
Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth confirms Arsenal have completed the signing of midfielder Thomas Partey from Atletico Madrid.
Partey’s arrival was accommodated by the departures of Lucas Torreira, who moved in the opposite direction by joining Atletico on loan, and Matteo Guendouzi to Hertha Berlin.
But while Torreira and Guendouzi were moved on, there were fewer than forecast departures from the Emirates.
Sead Kolasinac’s potential move to Bayer Leverkusen collapsed, while Mesut Ozil, who hasn’t played a minute of first-team football since March, Sokratis and Shkodran Mustafi all remain at the club.
