Partey assesses first season at Arsenal after £45m move and makes future promise

Big things were expected of the Ghana international when he arrived from Atletico Madrid, but he admits to experiencing "ups and downs"

Thomas Partey admits to experiencing "ups and downs" on the back of his £45 million ($64m) move to Arsenal, but the Ghana international says "everything will be okay for next season".

Big things were expected of the 28-year-old when he arrived at Emirates Stadium from Atletico Madrid, but niggling knocks and collective inconsistency hindered his debut campaign.

There is the promise of more to come, though, and the all-action midfielder is ready to embrace the "challenge" of proving himself as a Premier League star in north London.
