Need to get the best out of ourselves to compete- Thomas Partey on Arsenal’s upcoming season

His comments comes on the back of Arsenal missing out on the English Premier League title to Manchester City by two points; he made these comments after secured a 5-4 win on penalties over AFC Bournemouth.

“I think the confidence is always there. We are there to compete with the best and we know we need to get the best out of ourselves to be able to compete. We have to compete against each other and then, at the end of the day, we will be able to compete against the other teams.”

Partey featured in the preseason win for Arsenal that had fellow Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo score for Bournemouth via a deflection.
