Arsenal's Declan Rice has showered praise on his teammate, Ghana's Thomas Partey, highlighting his exceptional qualities on the field.

Rice believes Partey doesn't receive the recognition he deserves, despite his significant contributions to the team.

Rice commended Partey's calmness, saying, "The best thing about playing with Thomas is the calmness he brings to play with the team. Before I came to Arsenal, there was so much talk about how good he is. He doesn't always get the recognition he deserves. I'm quite lucky Thomas is there, and he lets me roam up and down."

Partey is nearing the end of his contract with Arsenal, and negotiations for a new deal have been ongoing.

Rice's praise for Partey comes ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League semifinals match against Paris Saint-Germain in France.
