Arriving in the final moments of the transfer window at Arsenal to the delight of fans who were hoping for the recruitment of a confirmed midfielder, Thomas Partey is already impressing under the leadership of Mikel Arteta. Holder of his side’s short win over Rapid Vienna on Thursday night (1-2) for his first with his new partners, the former Colchoneros midfielder has already won over his coach who has not failed to praise his qualities on the microphone of Sky Sports after the match.
“He looked really solid, really comfortable, and I think he held the midfield on his own in the second half when we were a little more open and took more risks, attacking spaces with some players,” said the Spanish tactician, mentioning that we should expect even better with his new recruit.
