Former Atletico Madrid youth coach Alfredo Santaelena is not surprised by Thomas Partey's displays in Diego Simeone's team this season and has lauded him for his improved form.
Partey has had a fine start to the 2019-20 campaign so far with two goals in his first eight games across all competitions.
The midfielder delivered outstanding performances in his last two outings for Los Rojiblancos, including their Uefa Champions League match against Lokomotiv Moscow on Tuesday.
