Thomas Partey Struggles at Villarreal After Arsenal Move

Partey’s Transition to Villarreal

The Ghanaian midfielder made the switch to Villarreal last year, leaving Arsenal to join the Yellow Submarine.

Challenges in Performance

Despite Villarreal’s strong performance in LaLiga this season, Partey has found it challenging to make a significant impact on the field.

Coach’s Take on Partey’s Form

In the wake of a disappointing Champions League loss to Bayer Leverkusen, coach Marcelino expressed his thoughts candidly regarding Partey’s current form.

Key Quotes from Marcelino

• “Thomas, I believe there is a significant difference between the player we knew at Arsenal and the one we see now.”

• “There is a stark contrast. Competing at this level in today’s football is quite demanding.”

• “Given that he has been with us for six months, it is reasonable to expect him to demonstrate his abilities or at least what we anticipated.”
