Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey says he just wants to enjoy playing football, with his future at Arsenal yet to be resolved.
Partey’s contract at the Emirates Stadium runs out at the end of this month, with the club in talks to extend the stay of the 31-year-old.
Despite ending the 2024/25 campaign without a trophy, Partey played a key role for the Gunners.
“People are talking about my availability because I was fit all season. Every training session, every match, I gave my best. Injuries are part of the game, but this year I felt great,” he told 3Sports.
“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,” he added.
Since joining Arsenal from Atletico Madrid in 2020, Partey has made 130 appearances and scored nine goals.
In a related development, the second edition of the Thomas Partey Tournament kicked off on Monday at the Tuba AstroTurf in Accra, as the Arsenal and Black Stars midfielder continues his commitment to grassroots football development in Ghana.
This year’s tournament features 12 youth teams comprising promising talents from across the country, all competing not only for silverware but for the opportunity to be scouted by clubs.
Local and international scouts will be in attendance throughout the four-day event to give the platform for identifying and nurturing the next generation of Ghanaian football stars.
