Thomas Partey’s father, Jacob Partey has asked his son to make a decision that will not jeopardise his career as top European clubs chase him for his services.
Partey is believed to be Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta’s number one target as he prioritizes signing a new defensive midfielder for the 2020/21 campaign.
He made 36 appearances in all competitions for Atletico, scored three goals and provided one assist last season.
His contract with the La Liga side is set to expire in 2023, however, the club is keen on extending Partey’s contract until 2025 which comes with a larger release clause than the current one.
In an interview with Koforidua based Bryt FM, he said, “Partey is grown enough, he is the vice-captain for the Black Stars, so I expect him to make the best decision”
“I know a lot of clubs want to sign him but he should know what is best. He is now my father and I know that his decision will be the best”
“For now I cannot decide for him but I pray God leads him in whatever he does,” he said.
