Thomas Partey's Individual Highlights Vs. Liverpool Proves He's An Elite Midfielder

Arsenal new boy Thomas Partey showed off his world class ability against Liverpool as he produced a dominant performance in the Champions League.

The Gunners signed Partey from Atletico Madrid on a long-term deal after paying his £45 million release clause on transfer deadline day.

His transfer rounds off an impressive window for Arsenal who've recruited smartly this summer.

But the Ghanaian midfielder could well be the shrewdest piece of business based on his past performances for 'Atleti' including his superb showing versus Liverpool last season.

The 27-year-old performed brilliantly in the middle of the park, breaking up play and setting up attacks.

Partey's then side went onto beat the Reds 3-2 at Anfield to secure a spot in the next round.

Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, is delighted to add a "high-quality" player in Partey to his squad for the 2020/21 season.

"We have been watching Thomas for a while, so we're now delighted to add such a high-quality player to our squad," he said.

"He is a dynamic midfielder with great energy.

"He brings a lot of experience from a top club that has competed at the highest level in La Liga and the Champions League for several years.

"We're very impressed with his attitude and his approach to the game

"He's an intelligent footballer and we're looking forward to him integrating into our system and contributing to the progress we're building at the moment at the club."

Arsenal's new No.18 could make his Premier League debut against Manchester City on October 17.
