Oleksandr Zinchenko has high praise for his Arsenal teammate Thomas Partey. According to Zinchenko, Partey is not only the most underrated player in the Premier League, but also the best defensive midfielder in the league, even better than both Casemiro and Rodri.
Zinchenko expressed his admiration for Partey in an interview with Vibe With Five, citing how Partey played a key role in Arsenal's midfield last season. When asked if Partey was better than Casemiro, Zinchenko was adamant in his reply, saying he wouldn't want to say something bad about Casemiro, but if he had to choose, it would be Partey.
Zinchenko also had a hard time choosing between Partey, Fernandinho, and Rodri when asked who was the best holding midfielder he ever played with. He mentioned how Fernandinho helped him a lot, especially when he was at Shakhtar, but in the end, he couldn't decide and said, "Thomas Partey... I don't know."
Finally, when asked if Partey was better than Rodri, Zinchenko challenged Rio Ferdinand to come and see Partey in a training session. According to Zinchenko, Rodri is an integral part of City's system and taking him out would be a big difference, but Partey has it all.
