Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the English Premier League on Sunday has got Thomas Partey receiving praise for his extraordinary display.
Former Liverpool player Jamie Redknapp is among the lot who have been impressed by the number 18 and believes we have a throwback of Patrick Vieira.
The Gunners ended a 14-year winless streak at Old Trafford after Pierre Emerick-Augbamayeng scored a 69th-minute penalty.
“He’s a bit of a throwback. I don’t look at him as just a No 6, a No 8 or a defensive midfielder, I just think of him as a really good midfield player that can do everything.
“I think back to the likes of Patrick Viera and Emmanuel Petit – that was the was golden era,” Redknapp told Skysports.
“Arsenal had a desire and energy to get the ball back. They were better in every department.
“Gabriel was magnificent and Partey was the best player on the pitch. He looks like an incredible signing,” he added.
Thomas Partey was making only his third Premier League appearance for the Gunners since joining on transfer deadline day.
Arsenal will face Molde on Thursday and play Aston Villa on November 8 before Thomas Partey joins the Black Stars for the Afcon qualifier against Sudan on November 12.
