Arsenal icon Ian Wright has highlighted the significant influence of Thomas Partey's presence in the Arsenal lineup on the performance of England midfielder Declan Rice.
Wright emphasized Partey's skillful touches and his ability to provide precise passes, which in turn allows Rice to make more substantial contributions to Arsenal's gameplay.
Notably, Thomas Partey and Declan Rice started together in Arsenal's recent 5-0 victory over Chelsea midweek, followed by a 3-2 win against Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend.
Wright reiterated how Partey's presence allows Rice the freedom to advance forward, enhancing his impact on the team. He emphasized Rice's versatility to play as both a defensive midfielder and a more attacking role, crediting Partey for covering behind him.
According to Wright, Rice's abilities extend beyond defensive duties; he possesses the strength and skill to progress the ball and influence attacking plays, especially when paired with Partey in midfield. This partnership enables Rice to showcase his attacking talents more effectively, contributing to Arsenal's success on the field.
