Arsenal star Thomas Partey targeted by Al Ahli as Saudi Pro League side continue Premier League recruitment drive

Al Ahli are continuing their Premier League recruitment drive by targeting Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey as well as Fulham boss Marco Silva.

The Jeddah based club have already signed free agent Roberto Firmino and Chelsea keeper Edouard Mendy. They agreed a £30.4m deal with Manchester City for Riyad Mahrez and are closing on agreement over a fee with Newcastle United for Allan Saint-Maximin. Indeed, talks are at the stage where the Frenchman is poised to go for his medical on Friday.

Now they have moved for Fulham boss Marco Silva, who has a £6m release clause, and want 30-year-old Arsenal defensive midfielder Partey too.
