A thread about #Arsenal signing Thomas Partey and some stats on how he will improve the team.

[Thread please RT and share]
Thomas Partey was promoted to the first team under Diego Simeone in 2015. Since captain Gabi left Atletico in 2018 and Rodri went to Manchester City last season, Thomas has since become an important part of Atletico’s composition and has attracted the attention of many clubs.
Partey stats for the 19/20 season per 90mins:

2.49 Tackles made
8.17 Ball recoveries
1.61 Interceptions made
1.42 Clearances made

Partey is positioned near the centre-backs and always moves in the pressure system when the team loses the ball, by making a mid-block.
