Partey to make 100th Premier League appearance

Thomas Partey

After being named in our starting line-up for today’s game against Manchester City, Thomas Partey will make his 100th Premier League appearance.

The Ghana international completes his century of league games for us at the same venue and against the same opponents that he made his Gunners debut against back in October 2020 after signing from Atletico Madrid.

He has registered six goals in three assists in the competition since then, including a memorable north London derby strike against Tottenham Hotspur in October 2022 which was runner-up in our 2022/23 Goal of the Season award.

He also netted against Aston Villa last month - his first goal since scoring in the famous 3-2 win against Bournemouth in March 2023. He has played for us 120 times in total. Strangely, he also made his 50th and 100th Arsenal appearance in all competitions in matches against Manchester City.

Thomas is also making the 300th league appearance of his career today having registered 200 games in La Liga and La Liga B during his time in Spain with Real Mallorca, Almeria and Atleti.
