Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could wave goodbye to both Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey this summer, with The Mirror claiming that two Serie A sides are interested in signing the latter.
Xhaka is poised to join Bayer Leverkusen in a £13million deal, with his return to the Bundesliga merely a matter of details.
And having been dropped from the starting XI in recent weeks, Partey’s future is now in doubt, which could leave Arteta needing to rebuild two-thirds of his midfield.
Declan Rice, Mason Mount, Moises Caicedo and Ilkay Gundogan are thought to be at the top of Arsenal’s midfield wish list of their exodus materialises.
