Thomas Partey’s season at Arsenal
Throughout the season, Thomas Partey played a vital role in Mikel Arteta’s tactical plans at Arsenal.
His inclusion not only bolstered the team’s midfield stability but also provided Granit Xhaka the freedom to thrive in an advanced position.
Despite his undoubted talent, Partey’s fitness issues have plagued him, prompting Arsenal to dip into the transfer market in January to secure the services of Jorginho from Chelsea.
The arrival of Jorginho proved fruitful as he performed admirably when called upon, resulting in Partey spending a few matches on the bench toward the end of the campaign.
Furthermore, due to a string of injuries within the squad, Partey was even deployed as a makeshift full-back.
