Partey

Arteta asked the Ghanaian to protect the back four and he did exactly that, helping to clear long balls as well as recover possession in important areas.


There is no doubt that Partey is a top-drawer player when he is fit and it will be hoped that, despite going off with 15 minutes remaining at the weekend, he can now have a long run in the side.
