Arsenal defender OLEKSANDR ZINCHENKO has named his teammate THOMAS PARTEY as the best holding midfielder he has ever played with, even ranking him above RODRI.
ZINCHENKO, who joined ARSENAL from MANCHESTER CITY in 2022 for an initial £30 million, has praised Partey’s skills, calling him the top holding midfielder globally. This marks a significant endorsement considering ZINCHENKO’s previous association with RODRI at City.
In an interview, ZINCHENKO stated, “Thomas Partey is the best holding midfielder I’ve ever played with, even better than Rodri.” Despite their time together at Manchester City, ZINCHENKO opted to highlight Partey’s superiority.
The Ukrainian left-back will be gearing up to start for ARSENAL this weekend as they face TOTTENHAM in the North London Derby. However, ARSENAL might be without RICARDO CALAFIORI for the match due to an injury sustained during the international break, prompting the club to recall him for further assessment.
