‘Partey can offer Arsenal anger like Vieira & Gilberto’ – Traore in favour of Atletico Madrid raid

The former Gunners defender believes a Ghana international midfielder could prove to be a shrewd addition for Mikel Arteta

Arsenal should be looking to make Thomas Partey their new Patrick Vieira or Gilberto Silva, says Armand Traore, with the Gunners told they need “somebody a bit angry” to fill a holding midfield role.

The north London outfit have found plenty of quality to fill that position in the past.

World Cup winner Vieira starred across nine years in north London, with Gilberto slotting in alongside him and ensuring that an iconic Frenchman was not missed when he departed in 2005.
