"He gave and destroyed everything": Partey on Adebayor's legacy at Arsenal

• Thomas Partey believes Emmanuel Adebayor is regarded as a villain by Arsenal fans
• The former Togo international left Arsenal to join Manchester City in 2009
• Adebayor scored a couple of times against the Gunners during his time at City

Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey believes former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor will be remembered by fans of the club for his celebration against the Gunners at the Etihad.

Adebayor spent three years at Arsenal, playing 104 matches and scoring 46 goals for the Gunners before moving to Manchester City in 2009.

During his time at City in the 2009/10 campaign, the Togo legend scored against his former club and celebrated wildly in front of Arsenal fans at the Etihad.

According to Partey, Adebayor's gesture tainted the legacy he built with the North London club.

Partey is hoping to build his own legacy at Arsenal by helping the club end their 19-year wait for the Premier League title.
