Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has again sung the praises of Thomas Partey.
Aubameyang, 31, described in his programme notes for Thursday’s clash with Molde just how happy he is with his new team-mate.
He wrote: “It was a great performance (at Manchester United) from the whole team and it was great to see Thomas Partey play like that even though he’s not been here long.
“Off the pitch he’s a really humble guy and you can see that on the pitch as well because he really gives everything in the game.
“He is really simple and quiet, so humble, and we all really like him.
“He’s really funny too – sometimes he’ll do some jokes and we won’t be expecting it. So he’s settled in really quickly.
“On the pitch his strengths are his energy and the way he can stop counter-attacks and dangerous situations. That’s really important for us.
“I think he locked down three of Manchester United’s midfielders on Sunday – that’s my point of view anyway – and that’s really important for us.
“Also he can play forward really well when he regains the ball and that’s a good point for us.”
