By Clarkson Ogo

The Atletico Madrid defensive midfielder is reportedly on the radar of English giants Arsenal and Chelsea, and French champions Paris Saint Germain (PSG).

Boateng, who played for Spanish side Getafe and English club Fulham, explained that Partey should prioritize success when deciding his next move.

“For me as a senior brother, as an experienced player, I like him [Partey] a lot, he’s such a respectful player and wherever he is right now he deserves it,” Boateng told Sports World Ghana.

“I personally want him to play where he will be happy. We all know that he is playing every game at Atletico Madrid [but] we don’t [really] know what goes on there. Only he knows what is going on there and can explain things better. The Premier League is also a good league for him to play but at the end of the day, you have to play where you will be happy and also be respected.

Boateng, who was also a midfielder, opened up about his relationship with Partey having played against him in Spain.

“About seven people have even sent me messages on Instagram that I should advise Partey to move to Arsenal but the best advice I can give him is that he should play where he will be happy. If Atletico Madrid is making him happy and he is playing week in week out, then he should stay there, play and enjoy the game,” he added.

“When I was in Spain, I played against him and after the game we talked for a while, so I know him. I remember he once had an interview when he started his career at Mallorca and he mentioned that he likes me, Andres Iniesta, Yaya Toure [and similar] kinds of players but I am his role model and that he wants to be like me, he wants to play like me.

“I think he has to check where his style of play suits because sometimes you can make a move and you won’t finish well.”

Partey and his Atletico teammates will take on Real Valladolid in a league match on Saturday at 22h00 CAT.
