Some fans of Arsenal have called for the sale of midfielder, Thomas Party after the London club secured back-to-back wins without him.
The fans who took to the micro-blogging platform said that the Gunners have evolved and have become less reliant on the Ghanaian hence the need to sell him in the summer.
Partey, who has been in fine form for Arsenal all season until April lost his place in the team to Jorginho when his consistent errors and poor showing in games led to Arsenal drawing three games in a row and losing the top spot on the table.
He was introduced in the final 20 minutes of Arsenal's 2-0 away win over Newcastle United. This is the first time the 29-year-old was left on the bench in back-to-back games this season, GhanaWeb said.
Jorginho who filled the void left by Partey won man-of-the-match against Newcastle and won the hearts of the fans.
Arsenal are in hot pursuit of the Premier League, trailing league leaders Manchester City by a point with three games left but the City have a game more.
This team has evolved past Thomas Partey, he needs replacing now.

Mad that we’ve gone from heavily reliant on Thomas Partey to not even starting him. #AFC #NEWARS #Arsenal

If anyone should get sold this summer, it's Thomas Partey, not Granit Xhaka. #NEWARS

Name me a very successful team without a DM who had at least one of the following:
— Lewis (#StartJ20) ???????????????????????????????????? (@MagalhaesHive) May 5, 2023
- CONSISTENTLY RELIABLE performances
- The ability to control the tempo of the game
- Leadership, grit and/or shithousery
Thomas Partey has 0/3. Rodri, for instance, has all 3.

Jorginho allows Arsenal to bench Thomas Partey and play good football.

What I loved most about Jorginho were his intructions on the field. You could see him dishing out commands and running the entire engine in the heart of the Arsenal team. #NEWARS pic.twitter.com/OLclna87aM
Honestly we might have seen the last of Partey at Arsenal.

With Rice and/or Caicedo possibly joining we'll need to make space in midfield and given the selection of Jorginho against a very physical team with no news of an injury to Partey it looks like hes done here.
