Thomas Partey has has labelled Atletico Madrid team-mate Antoine Griezmann "the best player in the team"

During the summer, the French forward had a tough choice to make in choosing between Barcelona and the Rojiblancos.

In the end, he opted to remain at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, much to the delight of the Ghanaian international.

"We are very happy that Griezmann is still with us," Partey was quoted by Marca

"He is the best player we have and we are all looking forward to playing with him again."

Partey, 25, who played 44 games for Atletico Madrid last season has now grown to become a key player for the Rojiblancos after the tireless midfielder saw through an incredible season.
