Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has heaped praise on fellow teammate Thomas Partey ahead of the club’s Europa League round of 32 second-leg against Benfica tonight.
The Ghana international joined the north London side from Atletico Madrid under much fanfare last summer but he has yet to establish himself as a regular starter.
Partey has come up with a few standout displays but he has struggled to command regular playing time mainly due to three injuries over the course of the season.
The 27-year-old has travelled with the squad for the return leg of the Europa League tie against Benfica and speaking ahead of the game, Xhaka was full of praise for him.
