Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli has their sights set on Arsenal's Thomas Patti as they continue to strengthen their squad in this transfer window. Patty remains an integral part of the Arsenal squad, but the recent arrivals of Declan Rice and Jorginho have opened the door to a transfer.
Jeddah Nationals has been actively poaching talent from Europe and has struck deals with Roberto Firmino and Edouard Mendy. They are currently in talks to sign Premier League players Riad Mahrez and Alain Saint-Maximin. According to the Daily Mail, Patty is also on their transfer target list.
Patti had previously been rumoured to have moved to Juventus, but interest from the Italian club appears to have cooled. As such, Jeddah Nationals could have a chance to chase the midfielder and further strengthen their squad by signing a high-profile player from Europe.
While Patty's future at Arsenal remains uncertain, his possible move to Jeddah Nationals could present him with new opportunities and challenges in different leagues. Whether the transfer will materialize will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Just Arsenal's opinion
Patti has been an important part of our squad since his move to the club and the Ghanaian will still have an impact if he stays at Emirates Stadium.
However, since we have Rice on the team, his game time may be limited and we should probably allow him to leave for a reasonable fee.
But if he wants to stay in European football, the bid from the Middle East will fail.
