Thomas Partey has worked under a serial winner in Diego Simeone. The pair worked together for five years at Atletico Madrid, before Partey left in 2020 to join Arsenal.
For all his critics over his style of play and pragmatism, Simeone has had wonderful success at Atletico, helping the La Liga club to punch above their weight. Under his management at Atletico, Partey won La Liga, the Europa League and a UEFA Super Cup in a three year spell.
On top of winning three major trophies, the Ghanaian midfielder also made a Champions League final under Simeone. His nous and experience of winning big accolades was no doubt a big factor as to why Arsenal worked hard to bring him to the club.
