The signing of Thomas Partey was met with a huge amount of excitement last year, but it has not all been plain sailing for him in England.
During five years with Atletico Madrid’s first team, Partey only suffered two injuries. However, since joining the Gunners, the Ghanaian has picked up three in the space of four months.
There are many reasons for this – the intensity of the Premier League and the chaotic fixture schedule being two examples.
Despite the frustrating setbacks, Partey has said that this is just the start for him at Arsenal, and he has so much more to offer.
