Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos has given a cheeky hint confirming Thomas Partey's move to the club during a live Instagram video chat.
Partey has been heavily linked with a transfer to the Gunners following his impressive display for Spanish giants Atletico Madrid.
Reports suggest that Arsenal have already made contact with the player who has a £45 million release clause.
On Wednesday, Partey's father Jacob was quoted as telling Tru FM that his son had entered talks with the Gunners.
But the player’s representatives, JJSports, said of the reported negotiations: "It's totally untrue."
However, Arsenal defender Sokratis appeared to have spilled the beans when he cheekily feulled talk that his outfit will move for the Ghana international.
Asked during an Instagram Live session to "smile if we're signing Partey", the defender slapped on a huge grin for the camera.
Partey has made 21 starts in La Liga with another three substitute appearances, scoring two goals.
He topped the La Liga dribbling charts prior to the Covid-19 suspension, incredibly competing 81.8% of his intended take-ons which betters Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.
Moreover, Partey was also a huge influence during Atleti’s 4-2 aggregate win over Premier League leaders Liverpool in the Champions League last 16 knockout round.
