Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko has selected his teammate Thomas Partey as the best holding midfielder he has had the privilege of playing alongside.
The Ukrainian places the Ghana star above his former Manchester City colleagues Fernandinho and Rodri in his ranking of top holding midfielders.
During an appearance on Rio Ferdinand's show, FIVE, Zinchenko expressed his belief that Thomas Partey is one of the Premier League's most undervalued players.
In doing so, he notably favored Partey over Casemiro, the Brazilian player from Manchester United.
“I had debate in my head on who is actually the best holding midfielder I ever played with; the debate was between Fernandinho, Thomas Partey, and Rodri, but Thomas Partey, I don’t know (in awe).
“He (Partey) has everything. Rodri is absolutely so well fit for the City system, if you take him out, it’s different City. He’s like the main detail there. For me, in City, this is the hardest position to play and Rodri suits there so well.”
