The 26-year-old was loaned out to Liverpool last season but injuries hampered his time at Anfield as he finished the season without making a first appearance for the Reds.

Partey could be sold by Arsenal this summer as Mikel Arteta looks to revamp his midfield options for next season. football.london has learned that Granit Xhaka is about to move to Bayer Leverkusen for 13 million pounds.
The Swiss midfielder is expected to be allowed to leave the club once the Gunners sign a replacement.
That replacement could be West Ham captain Declan Rice, with Arsenal now pushing for a £105m deal for the England international.
The north London club have already had two offers for Rice turned down by the Hammers but are now expected to finalize a deal as they work out the details with West Ham after submitting an improved third proposal.
Rice had been identified as Arsenal’s priority target and Mikel Arteta will be desperate to sign his man – in a deal that would eclipse the Gunners’ previous record £72million signing of Nicolas Pepe
Arsenal have also been linked with the arrivals of Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo and Gabri Veiga this summer.
As Arteta continues to draw up plans to freshen up his squad ahead of their Champions League return next season, Partey could be one of the players to leave the club.
The 30-year-old was a key figure for the Gunners in their Premier League title bid last season, but his decline in form towards the end of the season has raised concerns.
According to The Sun, Juve are keen to secure a deal for Partey but hope to keep the cash component low by including Arthur in the ‘swap deal’.
