Former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure praised Thomas Partey, describing him a ‘brilliant’ midfielder.
Yaya Toure told talkSPORT that the only reason he watches Arsenal every weekend is to see the Ghanaian footballer in action.
“Yeah, he’s [Partey] brillant, it is nice to see, “the ex- Ivory Coast international said on talkSPORT.
“I think now, every weekend when Arsenal have to play, I have to be honest, I would go just to watch him. He’s just unbelievable.”
Partey is currently having his best season since joining Arsenal, with two goals in the current campaign.
The Ghanaian has been a viral player of Mikel Arteta’s team, which is currently five points ahead of Man City in the Premier League standings with 63 points.
He recently scored in his first start since being sidelined with a muscle injury in February. His tribute goal to the late Christian Atsu inspired Arsenal to a 3-2 win over Bournemouth last Saturday.
Meanwhile, Partey has explained why he has been battling injuries since joining Arsenal in 2020.
Partey missed only seven games during his lengthy spell at Atletico Madrid, but he has already missed 39 games in three seasons at Arsenal.
In an interview with London.Football, the Ghanaian international explained that his bad luck with injuries is normal when adjusting to a new league.
“Well, I think it’s adaption. If you go from a different league, normal things happen,” Partey said.
The 30-year-old midfielder added that he is working and stated that currently, he is in good shape to help the team.
“I am working on everything, I am trying my best. I am trying to help the team any time I can. When I am ready and fit, I will be ready to help the team.”
