Published on: 06 October 2020

Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG) has congratulated Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey after completing his move from Atletico Madrid to Arsenal on the transfer deadline day.

The 27-year-old penned a long-term deal with the Gunners, having paid his 50m euros (£45.3m) release clause.

Partey made 35 league appearances and scored three goals for Diego Simeone's side as they finished third in La Liga last season.

The Ghanaian midfielder played 188 times for Atletico after joining the club in 2011.

He won the 2017-18 Europa League and 2018 Super Cup with Atletico and signed a new deal at the Wanda Metropolitano in 2018, until the end of June 2023.

With the transfer window now shut, attention will switch from club to international football, with Partey flying to Turkey to link up with the Ghana squad.

The Black Stars will take on Mali on Friday 9 October and Qatar on Monday 12 October in international friendlies.
