Arsenal’s Swiss international midfielder Granit Xhaka has spoken of his delight at the arrival of Ghana’s Thomas Partey to the Gunners’ midfield. The 27-year-old, who signed on deadline day from Atletico Madrid, will add “good balance” to Mikel Arteta’s team, according to Xhaka. It’s a balance that has been sorely lacking from the Arsenal midfield for several seasons, with some fans claiming that Partey is finally the Patrick Vieira replacement that the team’s been crying out for.
