Partey is willing to stick his foot in
The 27-year-old will actively look to regain possession and he is very successful at it. Unlike someone like Granit Xhaka, who is a notably bad tackler, Partey is generally very successful when making challenges.
Despite averaging over 2.5 tackles per match for Atletico in La Liga, he wins the ball over two-thirds of the time. Such an ability snuffs out threats from the opposition, but it can also help set up counter-attacks for his own team.
