‘Thomas Partey is a Vieira-type character’ – Arsenal legend Martin Keown

Arsenal legend Martin Keown has compared Ghana star Thomas Partey to Patrick Vieira following his outstanding display against Manchester City.

The enterprising midfielder produced one of his best performance for the Gunners despite losing 2-1 to Manchester City last month.

Speaking before Arsenal game against Wolves last Thursday, the former Arsenal star noted Partey best performance came against Manchester City and feels he is showing the player Arsenal thought they have bought in the person of Vieira.

“Well, when you keep them on the pitch (Xhaka and Partey), they do a good job.

“Partey particularly, we’re looking at Xhaka at the moment, but Partey for me played his best game for Arsenal in that last game against Man City.

“I do feel now that he’s starting to show the player that Arsenal thought they bought. A Vieira-type character, able to get around the pitch, passes it well – he’s got everything in the locker, it’s just about consistency.”
