Mikel Arteta 'increasingly irritated' with Thomas Partey's injuries

According to Football Transfers, Mikel Arteta has grown weary of Thomas Partey's lengthy list of injuries which have often made him unavailable to play for Arsenal this season.

The report also details Partey's frustration at being left on the bench when fit in favour of Jorginho to start in midfield.

Partey is set to enter the final year of his contract, leading to speculation over his future.

If there are indeed issues with Arteta and Partey, selling the latter makes the most sense as the Gunners wish to raise funds for more transfers.

Selling Partey would also mean Arsenal free up their wage bill, with the midfielder earning approximately £200,000-a-week.
