Arsenal set to part ways with Partey as Norgaard emerges as replacement
Arsenal have begun reshaping their midfield as Thomas Partey prepares to depart the Emirates Stadium this summer. According to renowned transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, the Ghanaian international will leave as a free agent when his contract expires this month, ending his four-year spell in North London.
Discussions between the clubs are reportedly underway, with the Danish midfielder viewed as a potential successor to Partey’s defensive midfield role.
Partey’s impending departure marks the end of an inconsistent tenure at Arsenal, plagued by injuries but punctuated by moments of brilliance.
The 30-year-old has attracted interest from several European heavyweights, including Juventus, Barcelona, and his former club Atletico Madrid.
This potential transition comes as manager Mikel Arteta continues to refine his squad following their second-place Premier League finish.
Norgaard, 29, brings Premier League experience and leadership qualities from his time at Brentford, where he’s been instrumental in their top-flight consolidation.
The move signals Arsenal’s intent to maintain their midfield strength while addressing concerns over Partey’s reliability.
With pre-season preparations looming, Arteta will want any deal concluded swiftly to integrate new signings ahead of their title challenge next campaign.
