Midfield Duo on the Market
Arsenal are reportedly preparing to part ways with midfielders Thomas Partey and Jorginho as the January transfer window beckons. The club is said to be willing to consider suitable offers for the pair as they look to reshape their squad for the latter half of the 2023/24 season.
High Earners Could Make Way for New Faces
With both Partey and Jorginho ranking among the club’s top wage earners, their potential departures would significantly reduce Arsenal’s wage bill. Partey’s weekly earnings are believed to be over £200,000, while Jorginho takes home £110,000 a week. Their exits could free up more than £16 million annually, providing manager Mikel Arteta with the financial flexibility to pursue fresh talent.
Three-Man Shopping List Revealed
Insiders have disclosed that Arsenal have their sights set on reinforcing their squad with a trio of new players, targeting positions in defence, midfield, and attack. This strategic move in the transfer market is aimed at bolstering the team’s prospects for the remainder of the season.
Injury Woes and Squad Dynamics
Partey’s season has been marred by a persistent hamstring issue, restricting him to a mere five appearances in all competitions. His last match for the Gunners was a notable victory against Manchester City in October. Meanwhile, Jorginho has found playing time scarce, clocking just 382 minutes in the Premier League over 11 games and missing out on the last five fixtures.
Competition Spurs Potential Exits
The summer acquisitions of Kai Havertz and Declan Rice have intensified competition within Arsenal’s midfield, leaving Jorginho fighting for his place. With the January window on the horizon, both he and Partey could be seeking new challenges as Arsenal aims to optimize their squad for success.
