Black Stars defender Joseph Attamah Larweh has urged compatriot, Thomas Partey to swap Atletico Madrid for Arsenal in the summer.
Partey has become the subject of transfer speculation with various media reporting that he is the number one target of Arsenal. Arsenal are reportedly willing to trigger his 50 million euro buyout clause.
Aside from Arsenal, there is also Manchester United, Chelsea, Juventus, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and PSG linked with the Ghanaian while Atleti are working hard to keep him at the club by offering a new contract.
However, Attamah has indicated that he will be happy to see Partey leave Atletico.
According to the Turkish-based player, the move presents an opportunity for the midfielder to prove himself elsewhere after succeeding in Spain.
“I will be happy if he goes to Arsenal,” Attamah, who plays for Turkish side Fatih Karagumruk on loan from Istanbul Basaksehir, told Citi Sports.
“He has done it all at Atletico and is well known as one of their best players.
“He has to move forward to a different league to prove his worth there as well.
“He needs to let people know that he is capable of succeeding in other places and not just Spain.”
Partey has made a combined 118 La Liga appearances involving 80 starts. He has registered a total of 11 goals and seven assists since making it into the first team in 2014.
