Arsenal has completed the signing of Thomas Partey from Atletico Madrid on a 4-year deal after paying his 50m euros (£45.3m) release clause.
The 27-year-old Ghanaian midfielder made 35 league appearances and scored three goals for Diego Simeone’s side as they finished third in La Liga last season. He played 188 times for Atletico after joining the club in 2011.
Uruguay midfielder Lucas Torreira, 24, has moved in the opposite direction and joined the La Liga side on loan.
