Atletico Madrid and Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey has received his award for being named in the 2018 Fifpro Africa Best XI.

Ex-Ghana defender Samuel Osei Kuffour presented the award on behalf of the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG)- the local chapter for Fifpro.

Partey deservedly earned his spot after an outstanding year, helping Atletico Madrid to Europa Cup glory and finishing the season as runners up in the La Liga. He played over 50 games for the Spanish giants last season.

The 25 year old has also become one of the most important players at national team level scoring 6 goals in his last 6 appearances for the Black Stars, including a hat trick in a World Cup qualifier against Congo.
