In the ongoing 2022-23 campaign, the Black Stars midfielder has made 27 appearances in all competitions with three goals to his name.
“Both my parents are my coaches. There are instances during a game when I feel I can just chip the ball, but she [his mother] would be like, ‘Why don’t I just attempt shooting often,” Partey told SuperSport.
The former Athletic Madrid star will hope to make Mikel Arteta’s line up for their all important fixture against Sporting CP in round 16 of the UEFA Europa League this Thursday.
