Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey has been advised to leave Atletico Madrid in the winter transfer window for Arsenal in the English Premier League by veteran coach J.E Sarpong.
Partey has not been a regular player for the Rojiblancos this campaign despite his superlative performance last season.
The 25-year-old earlier refuted reports linking him with a move away from Atletico Madrid. However, coach JE Sarpong has urged the versatile midfielder to leave the Spanish giants for English side Arsenal in the winter transfer window.

"It will be good for Partey's career to leave Atletico Madrid for Arsenal in January if indeed the English club is serious about him," Sarpong told Goal.
"One major thing he should also consider is that if joining Arsenal will give him more playing time, then it will be better for him to move. It is not always about the money players will get at the end of the day that leads to a change of club. They always want to play," he said.
Thomas Partey has started on four occasions for Atletico Madrid this season across all competitions.
