Michael Essien chooses Thomas Partey as the better midfielder
Football legend Michael Essien has weighed in on the ongoing debate between himself and Thomas Partey, selecting Partey as the superior midfielder.
In a recent interview with Sporty FM, Essien was asked to compare the two Ghanaian stars, both of whom have made significant impacts in the English Premier League.
Essien, who enjoyed a stellar career at Chelsea after moving from Olympique Lyon in France, won multiple Premier League titles and the 2012 UEFA Champions League with the club. His powerful presence in midfield earned him a reputation as one of the best in the league.
On the other hand, Thomas Partey, currently in the final year of his contract with Arsenal, has continued to shine since joining from Atletico Madrid. With two goals and two assists in 21 Premier League appearances so far during the 2024-2025 season, Partey has solidified his status as one of the top midfielders in the league.
