Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is reportedly ‘frustrated’ with his lack of action at the Emirates. It is claimed he will consider an exit if his minutes do not increase substantially before the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

Partey has not started a match for Arsenal in any competition since August. That is largely due to a groin injury picked up in training ahead of the 3-1 win over Manchester United.<\/p>\n

He returned as a substitute in the 1-0 victory over Manchester City before the international break. His game time was managed while away with Ghana, playing 45 minutes against Mexico and 64 in the loss to the USA.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old was in line to start the London derby at Chelsea on Saturday. However, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta instead opted to pick Jorginho on his return to his former club.<\/p>\n

A report from 90min claims Partey was not happy to be left out of the team for one of the biggest games of the season. It is said that he will consider his future at the Emirates if the situation has not improved by Christmas.<\/p>\n

The news comes amid rumours that Arsenal could reignite their interest in Douglas Luiz. Fabrizio Romano claims the Aston Villa star is still admired by Gunners sporting director Edu.<\/p>\n

Luiz, who has six goals to his name this season, could be seen as a replacement for Partey. The Brazilian only signed a new contract last October, however, and Villa would be reluctant to let him leave so soon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Partey looks set to enter the final 18 months of his contract. Injuries have had a big influence during his time in north London.<\/p>\n
