Arsenal is in conversation to sign Brentford -midfielder Christian Norgaard.
The 31-year-old is one of a number of options in the midfield that the club looks at in the midst of the forged contract of Thomas Peny.
Partey has been offered new conditions by Arsenal, but nothing has been agreed and its current deal will end in five days.
The side of Mikel Arteta still has to sign this summer, but goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is expected in London this week to put the finishing touches to a £ 5 million switch from Chelsea to the Gunners.
