    Arsenal and Black Stars midfielder Thomas Partey has revealed his dream African five-a-side team – and it’s packed with legendary names. From a rock-solid presence in goal to a powerhouse midfield and an unstoppable force up front, the team reflects Partey’s admiration for the continent’s finest.

    In goal, Partey selects Édouard Mendy. The former Chelsea and Senegal shot-stopper is his pick to keep the net secure. Known for his calmness under pressure and exceptional reflexes, Mendy rose from the lower tiers of French football to become one of Europe’s top goalkeepers.

    His breakout moment came at Chelsea, where he played a crucial role in the club’s 2020/21 UEFA Champions League triumph, becoming the first African goalkeeper to win the tournament, and the first to keep nine clean sheets in a single campaign.

    At the back, Partey stays loyal to Ghana by choosing Samuel Osei Kuffour, the rugged former Bayern Munich defender known for his no-nonsense tackling and big-game mentality.

    Kuffour’s defensive prowess was instrumental during Bayern’s dominant years in Europe, and Partey believes he brings the perfect balance of strength and leadership.

    Midfield is where the real engine of the team lies, with Michael Essien and Yaya Touré forming a fearsome duo. Essien, affectionately dubbed “The Bison,” was one of the Premier League’s most dominant midfielders in his prime, known for his tireless work rate and thunderous strikes.

    Touré, on the other hand, adds finesse, vision, and unmatched technical quality. Together, they combine grit and grace in the middle of the park.

    Leading the line is none other than Didier Drogba, the Ivorian icon whose clutch performances for Chelsea made him a legend of the modern game. With his strength, precision, and killer instinct, Drogba is Partey’s clear choice to finish off any chance that comes his team’s way.

    Blending West African pride with pan-African brilliance, Partey’s dream team highlights the incredible talent the continent has produced and serves as a reminder of the lasting legacy of Africa’s football greats.
