• Thomas Partey has dropped a puzzling hint about his future with Arsenal during a hearty moment with Nana Aba Anamoah
• The 31-year-old kept his cards close to his chest when asked about signing a new deal with the Gunners

Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey has left fans making guesses after offering a puzzling answer about what lies ahead for him at Arsenal.

His current contract ends on June 30, and speculation around his next move is gaining momentum.

Thomas Partey's impressive performance last season

After struggling with injuries and inconsistency in previous campaigns, the 31-year-old finally found his rhythm in the 2024/2025 Premier League season.

Partey featured in 35 matches across all competitions, notching four goals and providing two assists, his most productive season since arriving from Atlético Madrid in 2020.

His importance to Mikel Arteta’s squad was evident, especially considering how his absence in the Champions League semi-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain left Arsenal's midfield almost confused.

Partey's contract is set to expire in a few weeks, and Arsenal has reportedly opened discussions aimed at keeping him in North London.

The club is said to be offering a one-year extension, though nothing has been finalised, per Tribuna.

Partey's puzzling answer about his future at Arsenal

Back home in Ghana for the holidays, Partey is currently overseeing his annual football tournament, which kicked off on June 10 and runs through June 13.

During the event, media personality Nana Aba Anamoah seized the opportunity to ask him directly if he had signed a contract extension.

Partey’s answer? A written “Yes and No.” A response as cryptic as it was revealing, leaving fans and pundits further unsure of what to expect.

Partey reveals what matters most amid future concerns

While his brief answer stirred curiosity, he later offered more clarity in an interview with 3Sports.

He stressed that at this stage in his career, happiness and stability matter just as much as ambition.

“The most important thing is being happy where you play. At this stage of my career, my next move must balance ambition, family, and security.

I’m an Arsenal fan too, but it’s up to the club, my agent, and me to decide. For now, I just want to enjoy my football.”

Arsenal target midfield reinforcements

As Partey weighs his options, Arsenal is already making moves in the transfer market.

The Gunners have reportedly triggered the £51 million release clause in Martin Zubimendi’s contract.

According to Goal, the Real Sociedad star is set to complete a switch to the Emirates.

The 26-year-old Spaniard, who has featured 236 times for his current club, is seen as a long-term addition to Arteta’s midfield puzzle.
