'We didn't really have a profile like this in our squad before... he will be very important for us: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang heaps praise on Thomas Partey and insists Arsenal's youngsters will 'learn a lot' from £45m new boy

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang believes Arsenal's young players will learn a lot from new recruit Thomas Partey.

Partey moved to the Emirates Stadium on deadline day after he was pursued by the Gunners for much of the summer.

The Ghana midfielder had been a long-term target for the club and drew plenty of plaudits for his performance on his full debut in the win at Rapid Vienna on Thursday.

The 27-year-old is expected to retain his place for Sunday's Premier League visit of Leicester, but Aubameyang has been equally impressed by the former Atletico Madrid player at the training ground.
