Thomas Partey is the best defensive midfielder- Gilberto Silva rates

-

Arsenal legend Gilberto Silva has revealed that Black Stars midfielder, Thomas Partey is the 'best defensive midfielder' Arsenal football club has ever had since himself.  

Thomas Partey initially struggled with injuries following his summer arrival from Atletico Madrid. 

However, the Ghanaian is now enjoying a run of games and produced an excellent display to help Arsenal claim local bragging rights with a 2-1 North London Derby win over Tottenham on Sunday. 

Silva told Astro SuperSport: "I guess so. In my opinion, I agree with you."

"He’s a good player. He’s the type of player Arsenal were missing, I’ve spoken a couple of times about it."

"They have good players in the [central midfield] position but not to sit and give Arsenal the stability they have."

"Look at the game [against Spurs] it was great to see how he managed his game, how he managed that position, helping."

"You know what is very important about this particular position? This is a very particular position because not every time you get the credit you deserve."

"That’s okay, it’s fine because you have to understand that. But this guy, when he understands the position like Partey, look at his game: he made the others a lot better."

"He makes Xhaka look better in the game, he made the defenders look a lot better and comfortable when the ball was against them."

Silva added: "I think the way he manages games, the way he positions himself, is very important for Arsenal."

"He is the kind of player Arsenal have needed for quite a long time in my opinion."

To the Editor,

To the Editor, Why I didn’t show up for the morning news production on Monday On that fateful day (Monday, April 4 th 2022) I was preparing to come and produce the morning news despite the heavy rainfall and lack of electricity in my area. I was ready to come around 4:30am when my father ordered me to wait due to crime rate in my area and especially such an ungodly hour. From where l stay, I have to board a taxi to the main road before getting a car to work but unfortunately, there was no car at the time I arrived there around 5:10am because of the rain and lack of electricity. I had no other option than to wait because I might be attacked if I decided to walk to the main road that’s why I couldn’t get here on time to produce to morning news. Thank you                                     ...
