‘My head is always here’ - Arsenal star Thomas Partey pledged to remain with the Gunners

Thomas Partey has responded to speculation over his future amidst transfer links, affirming his commitment to Arsenal after making his first start since August in yesterday's 2-0 victory over Luton Town.

The Ghanian has struggled to get playing time this season following extended time on the sideline due to injury.

The midfielder was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia and other teams in Europe in the summer before deciding to stay put at the Emirates.

Speaking to FootballLondon after the game, he confirmed his allegiance to the North London club, “My head is always here. This is where I choose to play, I'm really happy every time I'm on the field. 

“I know a lot of speculations have been going on, but for me, I'm really happy to be here and to continue playing for this club.”

Asked about his contract by reporters, he stated, “Well, I still have to the end of the season, I think. I have to do my best and try to perform at the highest level and I think the most important is to be available every time.”

Declan Rice has cemented his place in the midfield this season, with Jorginho also edging ahead of Partey, especially for crucial fixtures. How Partey performs in the remaining games could influence any decisions about his future.

With just one year left on his contract at the end of the season, persistent injury issues have raised questions about whether he should be replaced. 

Rumours regarding a summer midfield addition have been stoked by links to players like Joshua Kimmich, Douglas Luiz, and Martin Zubimendi as the Gunners look to reinforce in the summer.
