Partey targets title with Arsenal and declares 'I'm ready' to face Man City

The former Atletico Madrid midfielder will train with his new team-mates for the first time on Wednesday following his £45m move

Thomas Partey says he is ready to be thrown straight in against Manchester City this weekend and insists he has joined Arsenal to win the Premier League.

The Gunners last lifted the league title in 2004 when Arsene Wenger’s iconic Invincibles side went through the entire league season without losing a single game.

It’s been 16 long years since that championship triumph and last season the Gunners endured their worst league campaign in a quarter of a century, finishing eighth - a massive 43 points behind champions Liverpool.
