Bissouma is the ideal partner for Thomas Partey - Kevin Campbell

Published on: 30 July 2021

According to former Arsenal FC striker Kevin Campbell, Bissouma would be an excellent partner for Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey.

He has encouraged the club to explore signing Yves Bissouma, who he believes would be an excellent partner for Thomas Partey.

Arsenal has already signed  Albert Sambi Lokonga from Belgian club Anderlecht.

However, Mikel Arteta is unlikely to utilise the Belgian on a regular basis. As a result, Kevin Campbell feels the Malian, who is now under contract with Brighton and Hove Albion, will be the perfect addition to complement the Ghanaian.

"Bissouma, for me, he is the ideal partner in there for Thomas Partey," Campbell told the Highbury squad.

"He is combative, he is a lot better on the ball than people give him credit for, the kid can play, he is young, he knows the Premier League, he is tough. he tracks back, he puts the tackles in, he is box-to-box, if you need him he can hold. That’s my guy."

Yves Bissouma has spent three excellent seasons in the English top flight, establishing himself as one of the best holding midfielders in the Premier League.
