Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey has expressed his ambition to continue improving his overall game, especially in front of goal, after scoring a crucial equaliser for Arsenal in their 1-1 draw against Brentford in the English Premier League on Saturday.

Partey, who started in midfield for the Gunners, netted his fourth goal of the 2024/25 season, helping Arsenal salvage a point in a tightly contested encounter at the Emirates. The Black Stars enforcer revealed in a post-match interview that the goal was a result of consistent practice and a testament to the team’s attacking fluidity.

“It’s something that we’ve been doing for a while now. I’m lucky to be at that position at that time. But normally we have a lot of quick players who are always on the counter. I think it’s just something that we always do,” Partey said. “Sometimes it’s the best part of the game to score. And I’m really happy to have a goal. Every player on the pitch wants to score from the back. It’s a great one for me personally to keep improving.”

However, Partey’s availability for Arsenal’s crucial UEFA Champions League quarter-final second-leg clash against Real Madrid is in doubt. The 30-year-old will undergo further assessment ahead of the showdown on Wednesday, April 16.
