Partey’s late scramble to sign for Arsenal infuriated Atletico supporters.

Arsenal fans have every right to be excited too, with Partey leading all of their other midfielders in stats for tackles, interceptions and even goals.
As for the player himself, Partey is delighted to be in London and has thanked all those associated with the club for giving him such a warm welcome.
Partey, who is reportedly eager to forge a partnership with Granit Xhaka in the heart of the pitch, beamed: “Hello Gunners!
“Thanks so much for the love, for the messages I’ve received.
“I can’t wait to be part of you guys, I can’t wait to join the team.
“It’s a great feeling to be part of a family like this.
“Thanks so much to everyone for the love, I feel so grateful and I feel so amazed to be part of you.
“I can’t wait to join you guys.
“And don’t forget, no Thomas, no Partey!”
