Thomas Partey Can Still Become One Of Premier League’s Very Best

Thomas Partey has endured a difficult first season at Arsenal but people have not lost faith in him yet.

Jamie Redknapp thinks the midfielder has what it takes to become one of Premier League’s best.

The Sky Spors pundit said, “It’s been tough for him, he’s had injuries, it’s been his first season in the Premier League and we have to give people time.

“Some just come to the league and they just thrive. Others find it really difficult. I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

“There have been games where I watched him and thought I would have hated to play against him. He’s got all the attributes.

“But there are other times when he gets into what I would call ‘Arsenal mode’.

“I don’t want to see him like that, I want to see him high energy in that midfield running games. Next season that is what he needs to do.

“He needs to come into next season absolutely flying because his performances have been too up and down for my liking.

“But next year we will see the real Thomas Partey.”
