Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has confirmed that he would like Thomas Partey to sign a new contract at the club. Partey’s current deal is due to expire at the end of next month and he is yet to agree fresh terms. The midfielder is attracting interest from former club Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus, as well as teams in Saudi Arabia.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta congratulated North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur for winning the Europa League on Wednesday, but insisted that whether a team have won a trophy should not determine if a season has been successful.
