Partey made his full debut for Arsenal as they came from behind to win 2-1 in the Europa League on Thursday, and Gunners captain Aubameyang was delighted with his performance
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on what has impressed him most about Thomas Partey
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has pinpointed exactly why Thomas Partey is going to be a "very important" player for Arsenal.
The Gunners prised Partey from Atletico Madrid on Deadline Day after meeting the midfielder's £45million release clause.
The north London club had been heavily linked with the Ghanaian throughout the transfer window as manager Mikel Arteta aimed to bolster his midfield.
Partey came off the bench in last weekend's defeat to Manchester City before impressing in his full debut in the 2-1 win over Rapid Vienna on Thursday.
And Aubameyang was keen to highlight the 27-year-old's qualities after his man-of-the-match display in the Europa League.

"He is so strong physically but yet so good on the ball as well," Aubameyang told Arsenal's official matchday programme for the clash with Leicester on Sunday evening.
"We didn't really have a profile like this in our squad before. In terms of ball progression, beating the press, going forward, he will be very important for us."
Aubameyang also believes Partey's presence at the training ground will help Arsenal's starlets reach their potential.

He later told Sky News the “capability needs to move up several gears” and said there was a "lack of an overall strategy" in the scheme.
Shadow Health Minister Rosena Allin-Khan said Baroness Harding's position was "untenable" but stopped short of calling for her to resign.
She said the system has been "catastrophic" and tracing should be handed back to local communities.
"(Baroness Harding's) position is very difficult, it's untenable really, but fundamentally this comes down to the responsibility of the Government, they have failed people," she said.

But Cabinet Minister Brandon Lewis expressed confidence in her leadership.
"What Dido has done is put together and drive forward a team that has come on so much in the last few months," he said.
"We have got a scheme that has gone from having no test and trace - obviously before the virus - to building up a scheme now that means we have tested over 28 million people - that's more than anywhere else in Europe - more than 1.1 million now who have been contacted through the scheme.

Former World War Two ambulance driver Joan Hocquard, who was born during the reign of Edward VII in 1908, passed away yesterday at her home in Poole, Dorset
Britain's oldest person has died at home aged 112.
Joan Hocquard, who was born during the reign of Edward VII in 1908, passed away yesterday at her home in Poole, Dorset.
Joan drove ambulances in London during World War Two before she and husband Gilbert moved down to the south coast.
They travelled across the continent in a camper van and went on yachting holidays until Gilbert's death in 1981.

England legend Rooney has given his verdict on the Everton goalkeeper's challenge on Liverpool star Van Dijk, which resulted in the defender suffering an ACL injury
Wayne Rooney has urged Jordan Pickford to "calm down" in the wake of his challenge on Virgil van Dijk in last weekend's Merseyside derby.
Everton goalkeeper Pickford lunged in on Van Dijk early in the fixture with Liverpool, resulting in the defender being substituted after a lengthy delay.
Netherlands star Van Dijk has since been ruled out for many months with an anterior cruciate ligament injury and is unlikely to feature again this season.
The incident has led to heightened criticism of Pickford, whose ability has been called into question after a number of goalkeeping errors and erratic decisions.
But Rooney believes his former Everton teammate can turn things around if he can address the "mental side" of his game.
"One issue, of course, is the mistakes of Jordan Pickford. I’m sure Jordan knows, himself, that he needs to be much harder to beat," Rooney wrote in The Times .
"I still believe his attributes make him both Everton and England’s best option and his errors aren’t massive, technical ones - they are down to the mental side of things.
"The one little bit of advice I’d give Jordan is just calm yourself down. Take some time.

thedailymirror--2020-10-26--Trump 'execution list' if he wins election - as he plans to 'remove opponents'

Donald Trump is reportedly plotting to axe FBI chief Christopher Wray , CIA top dog Gina Haspel and Defense Secretary Mark Esper if he beats the odds and wins a second term as US President .
The three officials ' names are said to be top of a long 'execution list ' of key figures who have fallen out of favour with the current administration , according to claims .
White House sources have told US news website Axios Wray and Haspel are `` despised and distrusted by the President 's inner circle , and would have been fired sooner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 3 election .
Trump is said to still be seething with Wray after the FBI opted against a formal investigation of Democratic nominee Joe Biden 's son Hunter over business dealings in Ukraine .
The President has consistently peddled the idea that the 50-year-old lawyer and investment adviser is corrupt during his re-election campaign .
While he has reportedly been unimpressed with Wray 's reluctance to remove further officials he claims abused their power by investigating his 2016 election win 's alleged ties to Russia .
Trump was also said to be furious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ held the position since 2017 following the dismissal of James Comey - after he stated the bureau had seen no evidence of widespread election fraud .
Wray offered the Senate Homeland Security Committee a statement in September confirming the FBI had not seen any foul play , including mail-in ballots , despite the President 's claims .
However , if Trump were to cull the director it could prove disastrous moving forward , with a senior FBI official telling Axios all major law enforcement associations have `` consistently expressed their full support '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , meanwhile , is considered a manipulative figure by many in the White House , breeding plenty of `` suspicion of her motives '' , according to one source .
Trump is said to have been irked by the CIA chief 's opposition to Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe 's declassification of documents as part of the probe into the Obama administration 's handling of the President 's own alleged involvement with Russia .
Haspel , however , is understood to be considering stepping down of her own accord , in part @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in relation to the Russia documents .
Defense Secretary Esper refused to deploy active-duty soldiers to America 's streets over the summer to combat George Floyd protesters , despite Trump 's aggressive push for 'Law and order ' .
And distanced himself from the decision to tear gas peaceful protesters in Washington DC 's Lafayette Square in June to allow the President 's controversial photo op holding up a bible in front of St John 's Episcopal Church .
Chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathon Hoffman said Esper `` has always been and remains committed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ military and the Nation '' .
The rest of the President 's hit list is currently unclear , though deputy chief of staff for policy coordination , Chris Liddell , is said to be currently reviewing who could be brought into the Cabinet next month , including conducting `` loyalty tests '' .
It comes after Trump signed an executive order creating a new classification of `` policy-making '' federal employees that could take away much of their protections in a move critics have blasted what is considered a move to `` politicise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spokesman Judd Deere said : `` We have no personnel announcements at this time nor would it be appropriate to speculate about changes after the election or in a 2nd term .
