Wow Lampard ready to hijack Arsenal move and bring Partey to Chelsea this summer
Chelsea have joined the race to sign long-term Arsenal target Thomas Partey as they look to strengthen in midfield.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has started to do some wonderful business this transfer window and start improving the sides of the squad that need to be improved, but he still needs to work on that midfield.
He has been linked with a move for Partey for months not, but with Madrid unwilling to let the powerful midfielder leave for anything less that £43 million, and the reports which suggest that Arsenal do not want to pay that amount of money, no deal has been completed.
Now reports on the TalkSport website has suggested that If we cannot sign Declan Rice, it is believed they will make a late run at the Atletico Madrid player, as his £43 million asking price is quite tempting, and are willing to meet his £200,000-a-week contract demands
It is no secret that Frank Lampard is seeking to add a bit more power to his midfield and bring in a more de3fencive minded player like Rice or Partey, but with the Hammers demanding £80 million, that move may not happen.
Arsenal fans have wanted to see Partey make the move to London all summer, but that has not happened, as they do not have the funds to complete a transfer deal.
We are big fans of Partey and believe he could add something different to a midfield that is full of quality and creativity.
We need a more defensive minded player like him and for the money that he is going for, could be a real bargain?
