Following Thomas Partey’s exceptional performance against Barcelona on July 27, 2023, some Arsenal fans have changed their stance on the player’s future with the club.
In the pre-season friendly at the SoFi Stadium in the USA, Partey delivered a sensational performance, dominating the midfield as Arsenal secured a 5-3 victory over Barcelona.
Not too long ago, the Ghanaian midfielder was on Arsenal’s outgoing list after the club had acquired Declan Rice from West Ham United. However, Partey’s remarkable display in the pre-season games, particularly against Barcelona, has caused a significant shift in the narrative.
Now, fans are united in believing that Thomas Partey is their most crucial player, and those who previously advocated for his departure now see him as integral to the team.
Furthermore, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed in a previous interview that Partey is considered “super important” to the team. Arteta expressed his belief that Partey is willing to stay with the club, and he expects the midfielder to remain an essential part of Arsenal’s squad moving forward.
