Former Manchester United and Bayern Munich star, Owen Hargreaves has urged Arsenal to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton as Thomas Partey’s replacement this summer transfer window.

Partey’s current contract with Arsenal will expire at the end of the season.

The Ghana international has been linked with summer moves to Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, respectively.

However, Hargreaves wants the Gunners to go for Wharton if the Premier League North London club decide to part ways with Partey at the end of the season.

“Someone I like is Adam Wharton,” Hargreaves said on Rio Ferdinand’s YouTube channel when speaking about Partey’s possible replacement at Emirates Stadium. “He gets in your team [Arsenal].

“If Mikel Arteta saw him, he’d go, “that’s my guy”. Say if Thomas Partey leaves, Wharton is a player.”

He added, “The thing with Adam that’s crazy is his vision. He’s two steps ahead. His reading of the game when you watch him… his vision and his touch is almost as good as anyone.

“I would like him at Manchester United but I think that system is very niche and you need legs to play in that position under Ruben Amorim.”
