Chelsea hero Essien hails 'talented' Arsenal transfer target - 'Such a good player'
Chelsea legend Michael Essien has said he would have "loved" to play alongside Arsenal transfer target and countryman Thomas Partey. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has identified the £43million midfielder as his top target as he seeks a new destroyer in the middle.
Thomas [Partey] is such a good player. I'd have loved to play with him," Essien said in an interview on Instagram Live.
"He is a young and talented player making waves in Europe.
"He is one player I'd liked to play alongside but it will never happen.
"It is their time at the Black Stars now so we have to support them and hopefully they can take it from where we left off."
