Thomas Partey's Arsenal career may not be over after Mikel Arteta hinted that the club may offer him a new contract.
The 31-year-old, who joined from Atletico Madrid in 2020, sees his contract expire in the summer and, at the moment, there has been little progress on an extension.
Speaking to the media on Friday ahead of the Gunners' Premier League clash with Ipswich Town, Arteta was asked about Partey and whether there had been much progress in extending his contract.
"Yes, there is progress with all the players. I'll leave that to Andrea [Berta] and the club to decide and to talk about," Arteta said. "The intention is very clear. I'll leave that to Andrea and the club to take a step forward."
Partey has been in sensational form for Arsenal this season, with the midfielder staying fit for the entire campaign after previous injury issues.
The former Atletico Madrid man has made 46 appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals and assisting three more in that time.
