The Ghanaian star has had an injury-plagued career with the Gunners and he has played in just five games during the current campaign.

Partey recently made his long recovery from a thigh injury, but he lasted for just two training sessions before suffering another recurrence.

Mikel Arteta has refused to reveal a possible return date but there are suggestions that he could be sidelined for several more weeks.

It is now reported by Mirror that Arsenal are prepared to part ways with Partey when the transfer window reopens during the summer.

A number of Saudi and Italian clubs are interested in the midfielder. The Gunners will want to recoup at least £25m from his departure.

Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi has been identified as a top target. He will be available for a release clause worth £52m this summer.
