Gabby Agbonlahor told <a href="https://talksport.com/football/premier-league/3324715/arsenal-transfer-news-thomas-partey-christian-norgaard-martin-zubimendi/" target="_blank">talkSPORT </a>he is underwhelmed by the move.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Agbonlahor said: "He's an OK player. I get it for value, he's a decent player, but you're losing Thomas Partey.&nbsp;It just seems a bit odd. Arsenal don't seem to be shopping in the top shops like Manchester City and Liverpool. They're shopping at Waitrose, Arsenal are at Asda."</p>
