Former Arsenal striker Paul Merson has chosen Thomas Partey as the best signing of the summer after his performance as man of the match against Manchester United over the weekend.
Thomas Partey appears to be the missing piece in Arsenal’s puzzle after helping the Gunners to their first Old Trafford win in 14 years.
Merson praised the Ghana international’s excellent performance on Sunday, but was not overly enthusiastic about Arsenal’s performance.
“It was a good home performance, it wasn’t great, I wouldn’t get carried away and say oh my gosh, it’s a turning point,” he said.
“They beat a terribly, terribly poor Manchester United that day. They’ve done a job, we’ve seen them lose those games in the last five or six years. But I think Partey is a big difference, what a signing.
“When you talk about transfers in the summer, he has to be number one. I can’t believe, without being horrible here, that Arsenal caught him. I’m not saying it in a horrible way, everyone is crying out for it.” – I know Manchester United is very heavy and they have Fred, McTominay and Matic, but they don’t have a Partey. “
Partey joined Arsenal on the day of the transfer deadline for £ 45m.
