Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp lauds Thomas Partey ahead of Arsenal clash

Published on: 07 October 2022

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has showed praises on Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey ahead of their Premier League match week nine encounter at the Emirates stadium on Sunday.

The Ghanaian midfielder scored his first goal of the season for Arsenal in their 3-1 win over Tottenham in north London derby at home last Saturday.

Partey, who has missed four games due to injury this season, including his side’s only defeat of the campaign so far at Old Trafford against Manchester United has made five appearances and scored one goal for Arsenal across all competitions this season.

"He's brought Xhaka back on track, everyone knew how Thomas Partey was when he was at Atletico, and now they've found a way how they want to defend," Klopp said as quoted by SkySports.

"They played a different line-up on Thursday but still with lots of quality; it's a young team, a very exciting team and doing very well, which is well-deserved."
