Arsenal are set to ramp up their interest in Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia as Thomas Partey closes in on a move to the Saudi Pro League.

Partey has agreed personal terms with an unnamed club in Saudi Arabia, according to reports, and is now on the verge of leaving the Emirates Stadium.

The Ghanaian midfielder has two years left on his Arsenal contract, but the club is willing to let him go in order to raise funds for other targets.

If Partey does leave, Arsenal will turn their attention to Lavia, who is valued by Southampton at £50 million.

The 19-year-old Belgian midfielder made his senior breakthrough at Manchester City before signing for the Saints last summer in a £14 million deal.

Lavia is considered to be one of the most promising young midfielders in Europe, and he would be a significant signing for Arsenal.

The Gunners are also interested in Declan Rice, but the West Ham midfielder is likely to be out of their price range.

Lavia would be a more affordable option, and he could provide Arsenal with the defensive midfield reinforcement they need.

With Partey set to leave, Arsenal need to act quickly if they want to sign Lavia.

The Southampton midfielder is also being courted by Liverpool and Chelsea, so Arsenal will need to offer him a competitive contract if they want to secure his signature.

Partey’s departure would be a blow to Arsenal, but it would also create an opportunity for Lavia to make a big impact at the Emirates Stadium.

The Belgian midfielder is a talented player with a lot of potential, and he could be a key player for Arsenal in the years to come.
