English giants Arsenal still hold high interest in Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey, according to reports in the UK.
Partey has been linked with a transfer to Arsenal this summer following his impressive performance for Atletico Madrid in the just ended season.
The midfielder is said to have engaged in talks with the Rojiblancos over a new deal which could keep him at the Wanda Metropolitano and raise the £45 million release clause.
However, reports in the UK suggest that the Gunners are waiting until the Ghanaian makes a contract decision at Atletico Madrid.
Arsenal, who view their midfield as a priority area to reinforce this summer, are waiting to discover the outcome of these talks before making a move for the 27-year-old.
He scored 3 goals in 35 league appearances for Atletico last term.
