Arteta provides Partey update ahead of Arsenal's North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur

The Ghana star has been in and out of the Gunners side but he is in the squad to play Spurs this weekend

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed Ghana star Thomas Partey, and Switzerland's Granit Xhaka, are in the best possible shape ahead of Tottenham Hotspur's visit on Sunday.

The Gunners will be hosting their North London rivals in the Premier League assignment with the former club aiming at collecting their third straight league win.

It will not be an easy outing considering the fact that Spurs have lost their last two Premier League matches, against Crystal Palace and Chelsea, by 3-0 scorelines and will be even more determined to bounce back.
