Partey joins Arsenal for £45m
Ghana international Thomas Partey has joined English club Arsenal for a transfer fee of £45 million.
The 27-year-old midfielder had been with Spanish giants Atletico Madrid since 2012 and made 188 appearances in which time he won both the Europa League and Super Cup in 2018, and was a Champions League runner-up in 2016.
Last season, Partey made 46 appearances for Atletico, played a key role in their third-place finish in La Liga and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
During his career, Partey has also enjoyed successful loan spells in Spain with RCD Mallorca (2013/14) and UD Almeria (2014/15) and has made 29 international appearances for the Ghana national team.
Partey will wear the No. 18 shirt and will join up with his new teammates next week after he returns from international duty with Ghana.
