Thomas Partey made his long-awaited return to the first-team line-up last night in the 3-0 win over Newcastle, and Mikel Arteta wasn’t alone in being impressed.
The Ghanaian enforcer was integral in breaking up our rivals play, and just as important in interlinking with the forward play, and it was a huge showing on what he can offer to the side.
Mikel Arteta opened up on why he believes he will be a ‘special player’ for us.

You need to be very intelligent to see how far ahead and how far the rest are behind in this team, to see what level is required. Its been a while since we had a “proper” midfielder that can control and command that area. If we could get him a similar standard companion, we would have a top 4 midfield capable of consistency needed for a top 4 fight.
