Atletico Madrid’s Thomas Partey can lead Ghana to Afcon glory, says Stephen Appiah

Stephen Appiah thinks Thomas Partey has the knack to lead Ghana to glory at the Africa Cup of Nations and believes he is one of Black Stars’ leaders.

Partey played a vital role as Atletico Madrid finished second in the just concluded LaLiga season, playing 32 times, scoring thrice with a passing accuracy of 84% for Los Rojiblancos.

Kwesi Appiah’s side face tricky Afcon games against Cameroon, Benin Republic, and Guinea-Bissau in Group F as they aim for their fifth African title.

Appiah, who played 67 times for his country, believes the 26-year-old will be a key figure in Ghana’s quest to shine brightly in Egypt.
