Partey 'could destroy his career' by moving to Arsenal, warns former Premier League striker Lamptey

Former Aston Villa attacker Nii Lamptey has advised compatriot and Atletico Madrid ace Thomas Partey against making a move to England.

The 26-year-old is subject of intense transfer speculation, having been linked to Premier League giants Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea. Italian sides Juventus and Inter Milan are also reportedly after his signature.

“There are numerous offers coming for Thomas Partey but his career will take a nosedive if he doesn’t choose his next move well,” Lamptey, who joined Villa on loan from Belgian side Anderlecht in the 1994-95 season and made only six Premier League appearances, told Ocean 1 TV.
