Partey, whose contract is set to expire at the end of the upcoming season, has faced challenges securing regular playing time due to injuries throughout the campaign. Nonetheless, the Ghanaian midfielder has dispelled ongoing rumors and reiterated his allegiance to Arsenal following their commanding victory over Luton on Wednesday, which propelled them to the top of the league table.
In a post-match statement, Partey expressed his commitment, stating: “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 speculation has been going on, but for me, I’m really happy to be here and to continue playing for this club. With my contract, 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.”
Arsenal’s recent wave of contract renewals, including deals with Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and other pivotal players, underscores the club’s dedication to retaining its core talents. Partey’s resurgence from injury could potentially earn him an extension at the Emirates. Reflecting on his return, he remarked: “It’s good to be back. I feel really good, it’s been a while. I’ve been trying to work a lot on my fitness and I’ve been through a lot of work. I’ve done all I can and I’m really happy to be back and I feel really good. I think I’ve improved a lot on my fitness, and I’m trying my best to keep on going at this level and keep giving my best.”
Manager Mikel Arteta has praised the prospect of a midfield partnership between Partey and Declan Rice, envisioning a formidable duo. Although this pairing has yet to materialize in a Premier League match, Arteta’s endorsement underscores his unwavering confidence in Partey’s abilities.
Commenting on this potential collaboration, Partey remarked: “I think everybody is working hard, we have a lot of great players Jorgi’s (Jorginho) there, Dec is there and I think Mo (Elneny) as well and we have a lot of players in that position and I think it’s good to have everybody ready this time of the season and from the beginning when I tried everything I can to be available. But I have to keep on working and at the end, they really did well.”
As Arsenal navigates the latter stages of the season, Partey’s resurgence offers hope for success on multiple fronts. With his renewed dedication and determination, he aims to play a pivotal role in the club’s pursuit of silverware or provide crucial depth when needed. His ambition is to retain his starting position as Arsenal faces Brighton in their upcoming Premier League fixture on Saturday.
