Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey has named former Arsenal and Nigerian star Nwankwo Kanu as his idol.
Partey said this during Athletico Madrid’s trip to the West African country Nigeria where Athletico beat Nigeria 3-2.
‘I’m a huge admirer of Mikel Obi. I like the way he keeps things very simple on the pitch and makes it seem so simple and easy to do but Nwankwo Kanu is my idol. He’s the best midfielder I’ve ever seen play football. He was a genius.’ he told Completesports.
Partey was of Atletico squad that won the Europa League.
