Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey's future remains unclear but recently appointed sporting director Andrea Berta may have the key to unlocking the uncertainty surrounding the player's contractual impasse.
The 31-year-old is approaching the end of what many consider his best season since joining Arsenal, yet it remains to be seen what comes next for the Gunners star.
His importance was demonstrated by the frustration shown at him picking up a booking that rules him out of the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Paris St-Germain. The yellow card came in the 85th minute for a needless exchange with Dani Ceballos with the score 5-1 in Arsenal's favour.
