Arsenal’s Partey has the capacity to shoot from distance – Arteta

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is confident midfielder Thomas Partey has the ability to shoot from distance after the team’s 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace in their Premier League fixture on Monday.

The Gunners took an early lead through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, only to concede twice in the second half, before salvaging a late draw thanks to second-half substitute Alexandre Lacazette.

During the game, Ghana international Partey, who partnered Martin Odegaard at the heart of the midfield, came close to scoring for the Gunners from his long-distance shots and Arteta feels he should continue trying but in the right areas.
