Richard Kingson urges Thomas Partey to move to England

Partey has been identified by Arteta as a priority target this summer

Former Ghana international, Richard Kingson has urged Thomas Partey to move to England this summer.

The midfield dynamo has been strongly linked to Arsenal this summer with Manchester United, Inter Milan and Paris Saint-German all interested in the Ghanaian international.

According to the former Wigan Atletic and Blackpool goalkeeper, Partey, whose contract runs out until 2023 with a €50m (£45m) release clause must accept the offer and move to England.

According to him, it will be a plus for the 27-year-old to play in the Premier League.

“Of course [Partey can go to England]. In football, it is a season," he told Joy FM.

"He has already made his name there [in Spain].

"He needs also to go to the toughest league to play. Partey is young.

"Partey is now coming up so I think going to England is a plus. He has to go,” he added.
