Arsenal have ramped up their pursuit of Thomas Partey by reportedly leaving a £43.5 million offer on the table for the Atletico Madrid star.
The Ghanaian midfielder has become a key figure at the Wanda Metropolitano this season, featuring 35 times across all competitions to help Atletico reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
However, Partey has a release clause in his contract and according to Corriere dello Sport, Mikel Arteta's side have launched a £43.5m bid for the Atletico star.
The report also claims that he is just 'one step away' from moving to the Emirates.
