From Turkey: Besiktas hold talks with Arsenal midfielder’s agent over potential summer move — Gunners want him to stay

**_Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has reportedly attracted interest from Besiktas ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window._** 

The 31-year-old's contract with Arsenal expires at the end of the season, and his future remains uncertain.

Several recent reports have suggested that Arsenal are keen to extend Partey's deal, with the Ghana international also open to staying in north London.

However, no agreement has been reached so far, and there is still a possibility that Partey could leave the Gunners this summer.

Barcelona and Atlético Madrid have both been linked with the midfielder, and now another European club appears to have entered the race.

According to Turkish outlet **_[Fanatik](https://www.fanatik.com.tr/transfer/galeri-super-lig-devinden-partey-bombasi-ilk-gorusme-olumlu-2583067/3)_**, Besiktas have made contact regarding a potential free transfer for Partey this summer.

The Istanbul-based club, currently managed by former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjær, are believed to have held talks with Partey's representatives and are reportedly optimistic about reaching an agreement.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta's side are expected to continue efforts to convince Partey to remain at the Emirates beyond this season.
