“Thomas [Partey] is such a good player. I’d have loved to play with him. He is a young and talented player making waves in Europe. He is one player I’d liked to play alongside but it will never happen.”
“It is their time at the Black Stars now so we have to support them and hopefully they can take if from where we left off.”
Thomas Partey is currently a transfer target for top European clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United with the Emirates side leading the race.
