@honeydooodh Honestly the mental gymnastics to keep him, if he does get a new contract I’d be highly disappointed and probably take a step back from afc until he leaves 😭🫣
🚨 Arsenal are ready to open contract talks with Thomas Partey, with a two-year deal understood to be on the table. Mikel Arteta & his coaching staff are huge fans of Partey, while the player’s current priority is to stay at the club. [@GraemeBailey] #afc
Martin Ødegaard on his injury: “In the last week or so I’ve made really good progress. I’m getting better & better by the day & feel it’s going well. When you feel like things are moving forward, it gives you motivation to do more & more & work harder.”
“Today is our last game before another international break, so that gives me some more time to work on the rehab, too. Hopefully it won’t be much longer — I think we will know more as soon as I get out on the training pitches & we see how my ankle responds to that.”
“At the moment it’s progressing well & it looks better than we were thinking, but we’ve still got to take every day as it comes. Anyway, it looks as though the team don’t really need me at the moment! We have been playing so well lately & got another good result on Tuesday against PSG.”
