Arsenal could be about to sign immediate upgrade on Lucas Torreira after £22m fee agreed

“I think they need a little bit of steel in the middle of the pitch, so I think Partey would be a very good signing for Arsenal,” Darke told ESPN FC.

“I know they’re very keen, but they can’t seem to get that deal done.

“They’ve got Ceballos back of course from Real Madrid, and he did well in the back end of last season, but in a more creative way.

“Both are good players, but I think of the two, I’d say Partey.”

Partey would be a definite upgrade on Torreira, giving Arsenal a better chance of breaking back into the top four this season.
