Ghana Poster Boy Thomas Teye Partey completes transfer to Arsenal

Ghanaian midfielder superstar Thomas Partey has completed his transfer to English Premier League side Arsenal in a deal worth £45million.

The deal becomes the record transfer fee involving a Ghanaian footballer.

The 27-year old signed a five-year contract with the English giants Arsenal Monday to end months of speculation over the move of the versatile player to England.

Partey underwent a successful medical examination in Madrid on Monday before putting pen to paper on deal until 2025, and will earn £250,000 as weekly wages.

Arsenal have got their man on transfer deadline day after Arsenal agreed to meet his £45 million buy-out clause.

Atletico Madrid confirmed that Arsenal have triggred Partey’s transfer by paying the full amount to secure his purchase.

“LaLiga has communicated to Atlético de Madrid this Monday at 11:28 pm that representatives of Arsenal have appeared at the headquarters of the football organization in order to exercise the termination clause of the footballer Thomas Partey,” Atletico Madrid said in a statment on Monday night.

“In this way, the player has unilaterally terminated the employment contract that bound him to our club until June 30, 2023.”

Partey joined Atletico Madrid in 2011 and broke into their first team squad four years later after two loan moves.

Partey played 35 matches for the La Liga side last season and scored three goals.

He will wear the number 18. Shirt.
