Arsenal legend Ian Wright explains why Thomas Partey is a ‘game changer’ for the club

Arsenal Great Ian Wright is full of praise for Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Parteys progressive style of play admitting its a game changer.Wright believes the Ghana internationals forward passing game has brought the best out of the Gunners, who looked out of sort without the midfielder some few months ago.Parteys return from injury has seen Arsenal rejuvenated from a recent slump, having won four of their last five games including last night 3-1 win at the Saint Marys against Southampton.He is a game-changer simply because of the way he plays in midfield, Ian Wright told Premier League TV after the game against Southampton.He is somebody who does not pass the ball sideways, he wants to pass the ball forward and that gets everybody forward.If you have got people like Emile Smith Rowe and [Bukayo] Saka in the area where they can pick up the ball and then they can both progress and run with it.All of a sudden you have got their defenders running backwards and you have got people starting to make runs and create, which we werent doing a few weeks back.
