Mohammed Gargo, a former Ghana international urged Thomas Partey to join Arsenal this summer.
Partey, 27, has been strongly linked to the Premier League outfit since January.
However, Atletico Madrid are determined to keep the Ghana midfielder this summer.
Despite Partey's 50 million euros release clause, Mikel Arteta who is the manager for the Gunners has identified the dynamic midfielder has his prime target to boost his side ahead of next season.
And according to Gago, the Premier League is a bigger platform for Partey to prove himself.
“I think he should move,” he told Citi FM.
“I think it’s going to make him a quicker player than he is today.
“Who would want to move from class three to class two instead of going to class four?
“Moving to Arsenal is going to give him another opportunity to take him a step forward, it is going to build him up and make him a better player for the Black Stars.
“So for me, if I were to be him, I would take this offer,” he concluded.
Arsenal have already had a second bid of €25m plus Matteo Guendouzi rejected for the Ghana international with Atletico holding out for the full 50 million Euros.
