Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk is interested in signing Thomas Partey from Arsenal in the January transfer window according to Takvim.

Per the source, Buruk is a big fan of Partey and has asked the board to make a move for the Ghana international.

Partey has struggled with injuries this season and Arsenal is reportedly looking to sell him in January or the summer.

The Lions reportedly want to sign Partey on a loan move until the end of the season – the 30-year-old is under contract until summer 2025.

Galatasaray are looking to part ways with Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele. The Turkish giants want to terminate his contract in January and find a replacement.

The report claims that Galatasaray will make a move for Partey if they manage to get Ndombele off their books. The midfielder is on loan from Tottenham until the end of the season so Spurs would have to also agree to terminating his contract early.

The Red-Yellows want to strengthen the midfield over the winter transfer break as they are currently in the Super Lig title race and are in contention for the next round of the Champions League.

Partey was linked with a move away from Arsenal in the summer, but he remained at the club. Buruk is hoping that Galatasaray can sign Partey in the coming weeks.
