Ghana’s coach Charles Kwabla Akonnor wants midfielder Thomas Partey to make the UEFA Champions League his major priority and has, therefore, advised him not to accept a move to Premiership side, Arsenal.
According to him, he will be happy to see the combative midfielder staying at Atletico Madrid and not move to English side Arsenal.
Thomas Partey has been a key member of Diego Simoene’s side and helped them win the Europa Cup in 2018.
Partey has been on the radar of Arsenal following his impressive performance in the 2019/2020 season but Akonnor sharing his thought about the issue said that he hopes Partey will turn down Arsenal and stay in Spain.
“I want Partey to prioritize Champions League football. I wouldn’t want Thomas Partey to move to Arsenal in England because with Atletico Madrid he will always play in the UEFA Champions League, It will be difficult for Arsenal to qualify for the Champions League” Akonnor said.
