Former England and Sunderland striker Darren Bent has showered praises on Thomas Partey following his impressive performances for Arsenal this season.
Partey shined again for the Gunners as they secured a 1-0 win over Chelsea on Sunday to return to the top of the league table.
The 29-year-old made a total of 56 passes amounting to a 92.9 passing accuracy.
"My top four at Arsenal would be Ramsdale, Saliba, Partey who’s the glue, and then Gabriel Jesus. But Thomas Partey, when he’s not in that midfield, they look completely different,” Bent said on TalkSPORT.
"Then you’re asking Xhaka to play a role he doesn’t want to play. He wants the licence to go forward, get involved and score. When Partey’s not involved he can’t do that. He is the most important player at that club."
Partey has made 14 appearances and scored two goals for Arsenal in all competitions.
