Arsenal Fans Beg Club to Hand Thomas Partey New Contract After Real Madrid Display

• Arsenal fans are calling on the club's top hierarchy to hand the midfielder a new contract ahead of the expiration of his deal
• The Black Stars midfielder's current deal with the Gunners ends in June and could leave as a free agent
• Partey starred as Arsenal defeated European champions Real Madrid at the Emirates on Tuesday evening

Fans of English giants Arsenal have taken to social media to urge the club to hand Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey a new contract.

The Black Stars midfielder is in the final months of his deal with the club and could leave as a free agent in June when his deal expires.

Partey has been pivotal for the Gunners this season and produced a masterful display against Real Madrid in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final.

A brace from Declan Rice and a late strike from Mikel Merino handed the London club a deserved 3-0 first-leg win.

Thomas Partey, l promise you, I will never forget that first-half performance against Real Madrid. Guy was so brilliant on the ball, scans before receiving the ball, reads the game better than everyone on the pitch. He plays 15 secs ahead of everyone. He controlled the tempo of the game. Arsenal must renew Thomas Partey's contract, that’s not a request by the way.

Partey linked with Barcelona move

Despite his splendid performances for the London club, the midfielder is yet to receive a new contract from the club.

Meanwhile, Barcelona are reportedly making moves to sign the Ghanaian on a free transfer in the summer transfer window.

Partey moved to England in 2020 and has since been a key figure for manager Mikel Arteta.
