Mikel Arteta believes 'something clicked' for in-form midfielder Thomas Partey after he delivered a forthright assessment of his Arsenal career at the end of last year.
The 28-year-old told Sky Sports in December he had not adapted fully to the Premier League and said his performances for the Gunners should only be rated four out of 10.
But either side of an Africa Cup of Nations campaign with Ghana, the ex-Atletico Madrid midfielder - who suffered an injury-hit first season after his move from Spain - has delivered a string of impressive performances.
