Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has earned recognition as one of the English Premier League’s most effective defensive players this season, ranking ninth on the list of players with the most tackles won.

Partey has successfully completed 28 tackles, placing him alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool and Wilfred Ndidi of Leicester City. The list is dominated by midfielders and defenders, with Crystal Palace’s Daniel Muñoz leading the pack with 38 tackles won.

Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo follows in second place with 32 tackles, while Viktor Kristiansen of Leicester City and Antonee Robinson of Fulham occupy third and fourth spots with 31 tackles each. Other notable names include Noussair Mazraoui of Manchester United, Mario Lemina of Wolves, and Tyrick Mitchell of Crystal Palace.

Partey has been a vital cog in Arsenal’s midfield this season, contributing not only defensively but also offensively, with two goals in 15 league appearances. The Ghanaian international was also instrumental in Arsenal’s recent victory over Crystal Palace, helping the Gunners advance in the EFL Cup.

As Arsenal continues their campaign, Partey’s consistency and defensive contributions remain a key component of Mikel Arteta’s system.
