The midfielder`s contract with Arsenal officially ended, making him a free agent.

Consequently, Partey is now searching for a new team.

Despite strong performances last season, Arsenal had previously hoped to sign Partey to a new deal.

However, no agreement was reached, especially after Arsenal pursued Real Sociedad`s Martin Zubimendi.

Arsenal are also set to sign Christian Norgaard from Brentford.

Partey might now move overseas, with clubs like Juventus, AC Milan, and Galatasaray reportedly interested.

He is not the only notable Premier League player currently without a club.

Manchester United have also released Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen.

Neither player was considered part of Ruben Amorim`s future plans, and both are now seeking new opportunities.

Elsewhere in the league, Everton has also seen several players depart.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Abdoulaye Doucoure, and Mason Holgate have all left the Merseyside club as they prepare for their move to a new stadium.

West Ham United also bid farewell to three players: Kurt Zouma, Vladimir Coufal, and Danny Ings, whose contracts expired.

Tottenham Hotspur is another club with a player departure, as Sergio Reguilon leaves on a free transfer.

Fulham`s striker Carlos Vinicius has left, though the club is still negotiating to keep right-back Kenny Tete despite interest from Everton.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest has parted ways with defender Harry Toffolo.

Relegated Southampton`s captain, Kyle Walker-Peters, has also left the club.
