"I called my son after hearing the rumours and he told me that the rumours are true. He told me they are holding talks between him and Arsenal," Jacob Partey told Tru FM.
"It all depends on the offer Atletico are demanding. If he goes lớn Arsenal fine, they have a lot of supporters in Ghana.
"I will be happy if he decides to move lớn Arsenal. What they are discussing now is how Atletico will release him."
Lucas Torreira has been developing as Arsenal's chief holding midfielder, but talk is growing of him moving lớn Italy with AC Milan looking into a £35m move.
