Mikel Arteta is thrilled with the potential impact that Thomas Partey will bring to Arsenal this season. In fact, he couldn't help but praise Partey's exceptional performance in Arsenal's 5-1 victory over Sporting CP in the Champions League, describing it as one of the best he has seen from the midfielder.
The match itself was a dominant display from Arsenal, with goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Magalhaes securing a comfortable lead by halftime. Although Sporting managed to pull one back shortly after the break, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard sealed the win for Arsenal. However, it was Partey's impressive performance in the heart of the midfield that caught Arteta's attention and earned him high praise.
Arteta believes that Partey has the ability to consistently dominate games, and he sees him as a crucial player for Arsenal this season. In fact, he has been impressed with Partey's consistency so far, highlighting his important role in the team.
When asked if Arsenal's win was a statement to other teams in the Champions League, Arteta agreed, stating that the team has already shown exceptional performances against big teams like PSG and Bayern. However, he also acknowledged that some mistakes have cost them in the past and emphasized the need for consistency in order to build belief and confidence in the team.
With players returning from injury, Arteta is confident that Arsenal will continue to improve. He explained that the team had been training with a limited number of players for a long time, but now almost everyone is fit and available. This has allowed the team to raise their level, and Arteta has no doubt that they have the ability to become a truly great side.
