But away from Goodison Park, the move to bring Allan to Spain could have implications for Arsenal, who have been – according to reports – trying to get a deal over the line for Partey for some time.

Indeed, the claimed last week that Partey was Mikel Arteta’s top target to bolster his midfield this summer. It could well be brilliant news, then, for the Gunners if Atletico gets a deal done with Napoli.

Arteta is getting it right it seems, Arsenal could be a major force with Partey

The will-he won’t-he saga with Partey and Arsenal seems to have been dragging on for some time now but this potential move from Atletico to sign Allan could be a telling sign.

Gunners fans will be excited with this transfer window. Willian is a top signing, while Aubameyang .

Gabriel Magalhaes could also join, so if they can get a deal for Partey sorted, then things are really on the up for north Londoners.

Of course, Atletico may just be strengthening their own pack with the signing of Allan and intend on keeping Partey. But it’s hard not to put two and two together here and connect the dots. Especially, if you are a Gunners fan.
