Following his exceptional performance against Barcelona on July 27, 2023, some Arsenal fans have changed their stance and no longer call for the club to let go of Thomas Partey.
Partey’s sensational display in the pre-season friendly, where Arsenal emerged victorious with a 5-3 scoreline at the SoFi Stadium in the USA, left a significant impact on the fans.
Earlier, the Ghanaian midfielder was on Arsenal’s outgoing list after the club signed Declan Rice from West Ham United.
However, Partey’s recent performances have sparked a massive u-turn in the narrative, with fans now considering him their most crucial player.
The pre-season games, particularly the match against Barcelona, have convinced supporters that Partey should remain at the club. Those who previously backed the player to stay now feel vindicated in their support.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has also expressed the importance of Partey to the team in a previous interview, confirming the player’s significant role in the squad.
“I expect Thomas Partey to stay here. Every time I spoke to him and had a conversation with him he’s ready to stay with us. For me, there’s nothing there’s at all.”
Below are some reactions to Thomas Partey’s performance against Barcelona

???????? Yet another solid performance from Thomas Partey, he always seems to be in the right position to receive the ball. He was a menace in intercepting play and started the second goal with an excellent through ball from a quick free-kick. Majestic baller ⚪️???? pic.twitter.com/dyCHgPXcCM
