Thomas Partey has won hearts of Arsenal supporter with him refusing a fist bump with a supporter donning a Tottenham shirt
When Thomas Partey had ended up making the switch from Atletico Madrid to Arsenal, many had touted the transfer to finally bring to an end the club’s midfield woes.
With Partey controlling the middle of the park for Atletico Madrid, Arsenal supporters went gaga upon seeing the club adorn their brand of red. However, Partey’s arrival was far from what the club had envisaged with him struggling to find his feet at the club.
He wasn’t helped by Arteta’s dismal tactics and injuries either, both which played a part in hindering his induction into Arsenal’s setup. Now looking forward to turnaround things for himself come the 2021-22 Premier League campaign, Partey will be looking to hit the ground running finally for the side.
Thomas Partey Evades First Bump With Tottenham Supporter
However, while he’s still to win Arsenal supporters with his performances, Partey has surely managed to endear himself to his side’s faithful for his actions away from the pitch. Partey who was meeting his supporters recently was spotted refusing a fist bump with a supporter who was wearing a Tottenham kit.
While Partey was more than willing to acknowledge everyone else who had lined up to meet him, the midfielder slyly evaded the supporter with the Tottenham jersey on. Arsenal Twitter was besotted by the gesture with many hailing Partey for understanding the essence of the rivalry between the two sides.

Arsenal Seal Ben White Transfer
Arsenal meanwhile who are playing a pre-season friendly with Rangers had some good news to usher in on the transfer front. While the transfer hasn’t been officially confirmed, a string of reports today have gone onto suggest that the club is finalising a deal worth 50 million pounds for the services of defender Ben White.
Said to be Mikel Arteta’s first choice transfer, White will be playing his skill set for Arsenal come the 2021-22 season. The CB had made a name for himself last term with him impressing for Brighton after being reposed faith in by Graham Potter.
