Thomas Partey Plays in Arsenal’s First Pre-Season : Match Ghana international midfielder Thomas Partey was in action for Arsenal on Thursday when the team played its first pre-season friendly match ahead of the 2023/24 season.
The Black Stars midfielder reported to his club for pre-season a week ago and has been training with his teammates despite reported interest from a number of clubs.
Today, Thomas Partey started in midfield when Arsenal faced off with German outfit Nurnberg in the first pre-season game for the English Premier League side.
In the game, the Black Stars midfield maestro bossed the midfield in the first half as Arsenal took a 1-0 lead.
It was all thanks to a strike from Bukayo Saka in the 7th minute after he was assisted by Ben White.
Following the substitution of Thomas Partey and some other players in the second half, the game turned a bit.
Nurnberg managed to equalise through Kanji Okunuki in the 63rd minute to force the match to end in a 1-1 stalemate.
Meanwhile it is still not clear whether the former Atletico Madrid man will stay at the club or move to a different team as he is heavily linked to Saudi Arabia clubs.
The Gunners finished 2nd on the 2022/23 Premier League standings and will play in the UEFA Champions League this season.
