Arsenal set for huge boost with Thomas Partey's return

Thomas Partey is making good progress in his recovery from his thigh injury and his return is fast approaching as he has recently stepped up his training.
The 30-year-old could be with the squad for the trip to Nottingham Forest on 30 January. The Ghana midfielder has only played five times for Arsenal due to injury problems this season and has also missed the AFCON.
The Gunners are not planning much movement in the January transfer window as Arteta said, and although there has been talk that they could pay Zubimendi's Real Sociedad clause. Finally, according to information revealed by The Mirror, that incorporation could be a defender.
Partey was a revelation last season for Arteta's side where besides playing as a midfielder, the Spanish coach used the Ghanaian player as a right-back, so his recovery could be a boost for an Arsenal side going through a difficult period as they have gone four games without a win between the Premier League and FA Cup.
