Al-Ettifaq are interested in signing Thomas Partey from Arsenal in the January transfer window.

That is according to TuttoJuve, which has reported how much transfer fee Steven Gerrard's club could offer for Partey.

So, what is being reported about Al-Ettifaq, Arsenal and Thomas Partey? Let's take a look.

What's the story? Well, according to TuttoJuve, Juventus are facing competition from two clubs in Saudi Arabia for Arsenal defensive midfielder Thomas Partey.

Arsenal are open to offers for the 30-year-old Ghana international. Partey has had injury issues, and when fit and available this season, he has been deployed at right-back instead of in midfield.

TuttoJuve has noted that Juventus are keen on the PS200,000-a-week (Spotrac) star, but so are two clubs in Saudi Arabia - Al-Ettifaq FC and Al Ahly SC.

The report has claimed the Saudi Pro League club could offer EUR40 million (PS35 million) for Partey.

Arsenal in potential conundrum over Thomas Partey In my opinion, Arsenal would be in a big dilemma if they get an offer of PS35 million for Thomas Partey in the January transfer window.

That would be a lot of money for a 30-year-old who may not even get into the team. Of course, Partey is an important option to have in the Arsenal squad, but the Gunners have to be mindful of his age and the potential transfer fee.

Arsenal paid PS45 million in transfer fees for Partey. So, to get PS35 million back would be quite something. I believe that the North London club would have to consider it, although they have to line up replacements for Partey first before they offload him.
