Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour believes Thomas Partey must leave the club if the Gunners are looking at the future.
He hasn’t played a Premier League game for the Gunners since October and was ruled out of the African Cup of Nations with Ghana due to his continued problems.
The defensive midfielder’s history with injuries has meant he has spent large portions of his spell in north London injured.
The 30-year-old is currently in Dubai for warm weather training with the rest of his teammates. However, it is currently unclear when the former Atletico Madrid man will be available for selection.
Speaking to BettingSites.co.uk, Parlour said: “I think Arsenal are looking for the future there. Maybe Partey moves on this window. We don’t know. Partey has been linked with Saudi Arabia and places like that. You always have to look for a replacement.
“Squad depth is so important now because of the games you play, Champions League – you want to be competing in that every single season.”
