Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey is good enough to play for “the best teams in Europe”, according to head coach Diego Simeone.
Thomas has been linked with a move to the Premier League with Arsenal after eight years in Madrid, where he first featured for Atleti’s youth and reserve teams.
Simeone can see why such a transfer would appeal to the London club and several other European giants, even if Thomas is still searching for consistency.
“Thomas is the one who best understands this position and the transition from defence to attack, shooting, scoring, providing assists and playing passes between the lines,” Simeone told reporters ahead of Atleti’s game against Osasuna. (Vanguard)
