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.
