As quoted by Metro, the Trinidadian said: “Thomas Partey has been outstanding for the last two years at the very least. If you’re Arsenal and you can somehow prise Partey away from Atletico Madrid, absolutely you do it all day every day. He sits in front of the back four, I’m still not sure that there are many better box-to-box midfielders in the game. If you get this done, do it now, do it quick.”
Partey has been a key player for Diego Simeone’s side, netting 15 goals while providing 12 assists in 174 appearances across all competitions so far. The Ghanian international could be a fine addition to Arsenal’s squad if they manage to sign him. However, Atleti won’t be too eager to let go of Partey given his importance to the team.
