Premier League club Arsenal has unveiled Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey.
The Gunners signed Thomas Partey from Atletico Madrid on Deadline Day after meeting his £45m release clause.
Partey signed a long-term deal at the Emirates after he completed his medical and paperwork just before deadline day.
The 27-year-old who has been a priority signing for Arsenal this summer committed to a 5-year contract until 2025.
The move saw him became the most expensive Ghanaian player in history since Michael Essien's £24.4 move from Lyon to Chelsea in 2005.
