Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has said that he is happy for his new teammate, Jorginho.
The Ghana international has lost his place in the Arsenal starting XI to the Italy international for the last games of the season.
According to Partey, Jorginho is the best player in training and deserves the nod after being the standout performer.
Until the last few games, Partey had been a big part of the Gunners team, which had launched a surprise challenge for the Premier League title this season.
He was on the bench for the games against Chelsea and Newcastle, which Arsenal won comfortably with Jorginho in control of the midfield.
Partey may remain on the bench for the visit of Brighton on Sunday, but whatever the case, the Ghana international is pleased for his teammate.
“For me, it is something that always happens. I have always had competition, which is good for me. I enjoy it,” Partey told the Evening Standard.
“I am really happy for him [Jorginho] because for a couple of weeks, he was the best at training and then at the end, you see that in the game.
“I am really happy for him.”
