Thomas Partey is a player of Arsenal
Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has heaped praise on Thomas Partey, declaring the Arsenal star to be one of the best midfielders in the world.
Gyan’s endorsement comes amid renewed attention on Partey’s performances and future at Arsenal.
Earlier indications suggested Partey might depart after four and a half years at the club. However, his recent reintegration into the squad seems to have shifted the narrative, with talks now underway as the Gunners consider retaining the 31-year-old beyond his current term.
When asked whether Thomas Partey merits a new contract at Arsenal, Asamoah Gyan had nothing but praise for the midfielder, emphasising that Partey’s exceptional qualities justify a new deal with the Gunners.
“Partey is one of the best midfielders in the world right now; there’s no dispute about that. Look at what he’s done for Arsenal so far. Anytime he starts for Arsenal, check their win percentage. I think he’s a huge figure for Arsenal, so all I say is, give him a contract,” Gyan said during an interview with Joy Sports.
He further added that the Ghanaian is more than capable of holding his own at any top club worldwide.
“He can play for any club. His style of midfield, similar to Rodri’s, is the holding midfield type, and he is among the top three in the world right now,” Gyan concluded.
Partey has enjoyed his most prolific Premier League campaign to date, scoring four goals in 31 appearances during the 2024/25 season, surpassing his previous best tally from the 2022/23 campaign.
