The 27-year-old Ghanaian midfielder played an instrumental role in the Gunners’ 2-1 victory with David Luiz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring for Arsenal after goalkeeper Bernd Leno’s error put the host in front.

After the game the Arsenal manager said fans have not seen anything yet about the Ghanaian and there were more to be seen about Partey who made his full debut for the club since making his £45m switch to the Emirate.

“To be fair he looked really solid, really comfortable,” Arteta said after his side won their Group B opener.

“I think he held the midfield by himself in the second half as well when we were a little bit more open and we started to take more chances attacking certain spaces with some players.

“But I think he was fantastic tonight and there is much more to come from him obviously.

“Obviously we know that with the price that we paid for him and the profile that he has, he is going to have a lot of people looking at him in every single game.

“But it’s about the structure we have as a team, the flow, the unity and the cohesion that we need in our team and he is one piece of that. Hopefully he is a big piece.”
