Jacob Partey, the father of Arsenal’s new midfielder Thomas, is confident that his son’s arrival at Emirates Stadium will bring Champions League football next season.
The Ghana international was a transfer from Atlético de Madrid after his £ 45 million buyout clause was activated.
His incorporation is seen as a great advantage for Arsenal, who have improved under Mikel Arteta, winning the FA Cup and Community Shield in the space of a month.

Partey has had a lot of experience in the Champions League, playing 40 times, dating back to the 2015-16 season when Atleti reached the final but lost to Real Madrid.
One of their most memorable performances came in last season’s round of 16 second leg with Liverpool at Anfield, which the Spanish team won 3-2 and 4-2 on aggregate.
“The Champions League has been one of the arguments regarding the transfer of Partey to Arsenal, but after having helped Atlético de Madrid to reserve qualification in the competition over the years, I am sure it can help the Arsenal to do the same, “said Partey Snr. saying Break FM.
“I was not excited about Partey playing in the Champions League because he must work hard and make history with his new club. I am looking forward to seeing him and his club qualify for the 2021-22 Champions League competition. “
Party Snr. He also believes that his son has the strength to adapt to the physical demands of playing in the Premier League. He is also eager to see his son don the Arsenal jersey and asks Ghanaians to support the country’s vice captain.
“In fact, my son’s transfer to Arsenal is the best. Players at some point move to different clubs. At this point, my son will play with his heart for the club to triumph, ”he continued.
“I have heard the debate that the aggressiveness in the Premier League is much higher than in the Spanish league but I think that Partey has what it takes to participate in England. Partey has the strength to play in the Premier League and excel.
“I leave and moving to Arsenal comes with great joy. I’m sure he will deliver for the club. He will be an integral member of the team and will dominate the midfield for the team as well.
“I can’t wait to see him in the Gunners jersey because I’m optimistic that he will surely shine. His best is yet to come. I will ask Ghanaians to pray behind him and other Black Stars players. “
Partey is currently in international service with Ghana as they are set to face Mali and Qatar in friendlies.
He will hope to make his Arsenal debut when the Gunners travel to Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City in a crucial Premier League match on 17 October.
