Arsenal are reportedly open to including any one of three players in a proposal for Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey.

While the Gunners have been interested in the versatile Ghana international for some time, it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to meet his £45m release clause.

Unless player sales are made in the coming weeks, the North London outfit may have to ditch their efforts to sign the 27-year-old.

However, according to Spanish journalist Kike Marin, Arsenal are willing to give Atletico the opportunity to sign one of their players in part-exchange.

Hector Bellerin, Lucas Torreira and Alexandre Lacazette are all said to have spoken about in discussions with the Champions League quarter-finalists.

Nevertheless, it is claimed that Atletico are insisting on Partey's release clause being paid in full for a transfer to materialise this summer.
