When Arsenal played its first preseason friendly game on Thursday, Thomas Partey, a Ghanaian international, was on the field.
Despite rumors of interest from other teams, the Black Stars midfielder has been working with his teammates since arriving at his club for preseason a week ago.
In the English Premier League team’s opening preseason match against the German team Nurnberg today, Thomas Partey began in midfield.
The Black Stars midfield guru controlled play in the opening period as Arsenal claimed a 1-0 lead.
It was all due to Bukayo Saka’s goal in the seventh minute, which came after Ben White had helped him.
The game changed a little bit in the second half after Thomas Partey and a few other players were replaced.
To force a 1-1 draw, Nurnberg was able to equalize through Kanji Okunuki in the 63rd minute.
Following the game, Arsenal supporters are calling for Thomas Partey to remain with the team for the upcoming season on social media.
