Thomas Partey, Ghana's current most expensive footballer, is demonstrating on the pitch why Arsenal paid £45 million to sign him from Atletico Madrid in Spain.
Thomas Partey of Ghana is starting to show why Arsenal paid £45 million for him.
Partey, Thomas
Due to his outstanding performance over the last month, the 28-year-old has been picked one of four Gunners players to receive the club's Player of the Month title.
This comes just three months after he received his own harsh sentence on himself following his move from Spain, and he is now finally beginning to complete Arsenal's turnaround following his October 2020 move.
Partey, Arsenal's current top midfielder, has been in superb form in recent weeks, demonstrating why the Gunners paid such a high price for his services.
During his time with North London, the Ghana international established himself as one of Europe's most dependable central midfielders, despite suffering repeated ailments and appearing slightly off the pace when fully fit.
Following their setback at Old Trafford in December, the Ghanaian international himself admitted to being out of form.
"I give myself a four [out of ten] because there are times when I can really harm the other team, but there are also times when I allow myself to lose focus, and that's when everything goes down," Ghana's deputy captain told Sky Sports following their match against Manchester United.
"This is when you realize you need to improve."
"I need to read through the rest of the game." Now that I'm playing a lot of games all the time, it's natural for me to be down during some of them.
"I'll be able to get to where I want to go with more games and greater confidence."
Since the setback against Everton, Partey, who has been playing with Granit Xhaka in the heart of Arsenal's midfield, has progressed from strength to strength.
In a 4-3-3 formation, the skilled Ghanaian has been employed as a crucial midfielder alongside Xhaka or as a lone defensive midfielder.
This highlights his outstanding defensive abilities as well as his ability to pass between the lines, which has allowed Arsenal to win seven of their nine Premier League games.
