Transfer: He’s key, Partey should leave Emirates – Bothroyd tells Arsenal signing to make

Former Arsenal academy striker, Jay Bothroyd, has urged the Gunners to sign a new striker this summer transfer window that can score 20 league goals a season.

Bothroyd also urged Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey to leave Emirates if he wants to play every week.

Speaking with Sky Sports, Bothroyd said, “I think someone like [Gabriel] Jesus can be pushed wide if they sign a striker.

“I think a striker for Arsenal is key. They need a striker who is going to come in and score 20 league goals a season.

“If [Thomas] Partey wants to play every week, then he has to leave.
