Partey started in defensive midfield for the Gunners as they were held to a goalless draw by Villarreal on Thursday night, which saw them knocked out of the Europa League. Partey again failed to impress against Villarreal, which saw Arsenal legend Keown blast the midfielder following the match. “We thought we were signing the next Patrick Vieira, and he hasn’t looked like that at all,” he told BT Sport. Thomas Partey is a top, top player,” the 29-year-old told talkSPORT.
