Arsenal are yet to lose a game in the English Premier League with the Ghanaian in their squad. Their only defeat in the league against Manchester United came without the former Atletico Madrid star.

Partey's form is good news for the Black Stars of Ghana, who are preparing for the World Cup in Qatar next month.
