New Arsenal signing Thomas Partey could make his debut against Manchester City on Saturday
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that deadline day signing Thomas Teye Partey will be involved in his club’s game against Manchester City on Saturday.
Partey completed a £45m deadline day move from Athletico Madrid to Arsenal but quickly went to play with the Ghana national team in two friendly games.
The new signing arrived at the Gunners’ training ground for the first time on Tuesday after international duty with Ghana and could make his debut against Manchester City.
Arteta says a decision will be made on Partey’s fitness after he comes through training sessions on Thursday and Friday.
“Today he will have his first training session. He will need to go quickly. He wants to play. We will see [on Saturday]. You see players adapting really quickly and others taking a long time,” Arteta said on Thursday morning.
“I’ve seen the buzz around the place. The fans are really happy, I’ve seen some really positive reactions. The same with the team and staff. We have rated him for a long time.” he added.
