The deadline for transfers has already elapsed but Atletico have been given a leeway to make another addition since Partey was captured by Arsenal on deadline day with no time for a replacement.
They have settled on the Frenchman to fill the hole left by the Ghanaian. According to Spanish outlet Carrusel Deportivo, the move will be worth 15-20 million euros.
