Today, we will be looking at 5 Alternatives for Arsenal should they fail to swoop for Atletico Madrid midfielder, Thomas Partey! {THREAD}

5. André-Frank Zambo Anguissa!
Age: 24

Zambo Anguissa has had a resurgence at Villarreal this season! He looks a completely different player from his season at relegated Fulham in 18/19! He looks like his old Marseille self again!

Anguissa is a fairly big midfielder! He’s a strong and very intelligent player in tight spaces

He’s one of the most efficient midfield dribblers in Europe, completing 3.0 dribbles per 90 with an 85% success rate! He’s a very high volume midfield dribbler!

Anguissa is a capable defender, currently completing 3.5 tackles and interceptions per 90! But, he’s not as efficient with his defending as Partey is, who gets dribbled past less per 90 and tackles 40% of dribblers compared to Anguissa’s 26%!

Anguissa is currently being linked with Atletico Madrid as a replacement for Partey! He’d be a great fit for the Gunners if they can’t sign Partey! Anguissa is a player who would compliment Granit Xhaka nicely at the base of midfield!

4. Lisandro Martinez
Age:22

Lisandro Martinez has had a great breakthrough season in European football! He’s has been a very capable replacement for the outgoing Frenkie De Jong and he’s surely going to have suitors this summer!

Lisandro Martinez has a great skill set for a defensive minded player. He’s very clean in possesion and distributes very well! Completing 3.8 long balls per 90 with a 61% success rate.

Lisandro Martinez has a very agressive style of defending, quite similar to Arsenal’s Lucas Torreira! He’s currently completing nearly 3.6 tackles and interceptions per 90 which is very solid for a side like Ajax who have a lot of the ball most of the time!

Lisandro Martinez is also a versatile player! He’s covered in 3 different positions for Ajax this season!

Lisandro Martinez has quickly become an important part of the Ajax system and Ten Hag is undoubtably a big fan of him! He’s a great leader in the making and a great technical defensive player! He caters to most of Arsenal’s needs and the gunners should 100% look to sign him!

3. Amadou Diawara
Age: 23

Amadou Diawara has always been a great player! But, Diawara has slightly regressed due to a lack of play time in his Napoli days. He never made more than 10 starts in a league season for Napoli. He looks like he’s back to his best!

Diawara would certainly live up to the progressive needs of Mikel Arteta’s system! Currently completing 3.7 long balls per 90 with a 67% accuracy! He’s also making 6.03 successful passes into the final third from deep.

Diawara is an excellent defender! Completing 4.9 tackles and interceptions per 90. He’s a big presence in midfield, standing at 6”0’ tall and he’s a lockdown DM! Currently getting dribbled past under 1.0 times per match

Diawara is a player improving! He’s a player readymade for the premier league and Arsenal! He would make a great alternative for Thomas Partey!

2. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg
Age: 24

Højbjerg has always been a very underrated player! He currently has a year left on his contract and would be available for a very low fee!

Højbjerg is currently making nearly 2.9 tackles and interceptions per 90 to Partey’s 3.0 which is not far off from the Ghanaian! While he’s tackling 30% of dribblers to Partey’s 39%! He functions similarly to Partey defensively

Højbjerg is a very progressive player! He completes nearly 1.3 dribbles per 90 with a 73% success rate, 5.0 passes into the final third per 90, 7.0 deep progressions and 2.00 shot creating actions per 90! A very impressive player when on the ball!

Hojbjerg is a brilliant all-rounder and has shown leadership qualities! He was Southampton’s captain this season before being stripped of the armband due to him not signing a contract with Southampton.

Højbjerg in theory, is a cut-price Thomas Partey! He’d be a smart acquisition for Arsenal, should they fail to sign Thomas Partey in the summer! He’s a PL proven player who’s shown a lot of great qualities!

1. Ibrahim Sangare!

Age: 22

Sangare would be the perfect Partey alternative for the Gunners! Sangare stands at a massive 6”3’ frame. He’s a physically dominant player who possesses rare technical abilities and defensive prowess!

Sangare makes a monstrous 5.0 tackles and interceptions per 90! He’s a very active defensive midfielder. He’s also tackling 38% of dribblers which is excellent for someone always under attacking pressure due to being in a poor side.

Sangare is an excellent dribbler! Completing 1.8 dribbles per 90 with a 75% success rate! He also makes nearly 5.8 passes into the final third and creates 1.7 shot creating actions per 90! Sangare is a player who can do it all while being an excellent DM!

Sangaré is also a brilliant distributor! Completing nearly 3.6 tackles and interceptions per 90 with a 51% accuracy! He’s a brilliant technician! He’s got great eye for a pass

Sangare has been linked with numerous Premier league clubs! With the likes of West Ham, Wolves and Everton taking an interest in the Toulouse midfielder! He’s available for under €10m and would be a fantastic addition for Arsenal!
