Thomas Partey wanted to join Arsenal because Arteta promised him that he will be allowed him to express himself in a way that was not always possible at Atlético.( @guardian)

Partey was primarily viewed by Diego Simeone as a holding player in a regimented, highly effective system but the Ghanaian always felt capable of doing more. ( @guardian)

Since Arsenal’s interest in Thomas Partey first intensified in 2018, he made a habit of regularly tuning into their games from his home. He watched the last two years with interest, always hoping the club he was intent on joining would one day come back for him. ( @TheAthleticUK)

Arsenal had been negotiating all summer with Atletico to try to land the midfielder for a lower fee, even offering Lucas Torreira (below) and Matteo Guendouzi as part of a swap deal, but were consistently told to pay the release clause in full. ( @standardsport)

As of yesterday morning the Atletico had been given no indication that Arsenal would pay the release clause. In the afternoon, Arsenal assembled their legal team at London Colney training base and put the wheels in motion to activate Partey’s release clause. ( @standardsport)

Arsenal were able to act quickly as personal terms had been provisionally agreed with Thomas Partey more than two months ago and the 27-year-old underwent his medical in Madrid. ( @standardsport)

In Spain, meeting a release clause essentially bypasses negotiations with the selling club as the buyers initially deposit the paperwork and transfer fee with La Liga, who hold the player’s registration. ( @standardsport)

Thomas Partey has always been attracted to the idea of playing in England, but it is understood Arteta and Edu played a key role in persuading him to come to Arsenal. ( @standardsport)

Unable to meet the midfielder due to Covid-19 restrictions, the pair spoke to the midfielder over the phone and Standard Sport understands from one source close to negotiations they played an “instrumental role” in convincing Partey to move to Emirates Stadium. ( @standardsport)

Arsenal are looking into the possibility of loaning William Saliba to a Championship side in the coming days. ( @MarkyMBryans)

William Saliba could move to the Championship on loan. It is likely he could move to a London club to help him stay close to Arsenal as he tries to acclimatise with Brentford being a serious option. ( @MirrorFootball)

Mesut Özil: "I was so sad that Jerry Quy aka our famous & loyal mascot Gunnersaurus an integral part of our club was being made redundant after 27 years. As such, I’m offering to reimburse Arsenal with the full salary of our big green guy as long as I will be an Arsenal player"

Arsenal spokesman response: “Gunnersaurus is not extinct and will return to action when fans are allowed back at matches.” ( @JamesOlley)
