Atletico Madrid ace Thomas Teye Partey has stated he is looking to help Ghana reach higher heights after being named as new deputy captain of the national team.
On Sunday, the midfielder was rewarded with the vice-skipper role for his team influence since joining the Black Stars in 2016.
Taking over from Inter Milan defender Kwadwo Asamoah, Partey will provide support for main captain Andre Ayew, who kept his position despite the leadership shakeup.
"It is a big honour to be chosen for this position in the national team," the 27-year-old, who has heavily been linked to Arsenal for a reported imminent transfer, posted in an appreciation message on social media.
