However, it was Arsenal who won the race for his signature after paying the midfielder’s release clause.
In a statement announcing his signing, the Premier League club said: “Thomas Partey has joined us on a long-term contract.
“The 27-year-old midfielder had been with Atletico since 2012, making 188 appearances, in which time he won both the Europa League and Super Cup in 2018, and was a Champions League runner-up in 2016.”
