And Chelsea hero Essien – who won two Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the Champions League at Stamford Bridge – expects Partey to thrive at Arsenal. ‘But I think the Arsenal I played towards the end of my career could have done with a player like Thomas Partey. ‘I played a lot against Mikel Arteta when he was at PSG and I know him quite well,’ Essien added.
