The Ghana international returned to Mikel Arteta's starting line up for yesterday's 5-0 win over Chelsea, showing his value after being missed due to injuries this season.
Arsenal considered selling Partey last summer, taking into account his age and injury history, but were not eager to push him out, waiting for a suitable offer from interested clubs.
Watts praised Partey's impact on other players like Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, suggesting a reason to retain him for another year despite potential free transfer later.
Arsenal kept Partey last summer due to the lack of tempting bids, and a similar situation is expected this year unless a good offer comes while being open to considering deals due to his contract situation.
