Thomas Partey had it all a good footballer who through hard work and talent, had been one of Diego Simeone's most valuable pieces since his signing with Atletico Madrid.
The Black Stars deputy captain was the anchor of the team, the middle element that balanced it and to which he contributed all his qualities and abilities.
However, Partey's decision to leave for Arsenal broke everything. The payment of the clause by the Gunner team made him one of the signings of the summer in the Premier League, but that poster is something that Thomas himself has not yet verified with his performance offered at the Emirates Stadium.
All the signings that arrive so late tend to suffer. Thomas arrived already in October to a football that for him is totally new. And a very different one, such as English. Under Mikel Arteta's orders, the African should be that same player at Arsenal.
The bad moment that the English team is going through also affects each and every one of these pieces individually, but for now, the departure of Thomas Partey to Arsenal is a glaring mistake according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.
