'He's incredible' - Arsenal star Partey can be one of the world's best, says Saul Niguez

Thomas Partey has been backed to go on to become one of the best players in the world at Arsenal by his former Atletico Madrid team-mate Saul Niguez.

Partey moved to the Gunners on the final day of last summer’s transfer window, but has endured a frustrating first season in north London due to a series of injuries.

The Ghana international has admitted that he has only shown glimpses of his best form since switching Spain for England and Saul - who progressed through the youth ranks alongside the midfielder at Atletico - is convinced his former team-mate will soon show his true worth to Mikel Arteta’s side.
