Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has expressed his gratitude for playing alongside Ghana's Thomas Partey, highlighting the benefits of their partnership on the field.

Rice praised Partey's calmness, which brings stability to the team.

"The best thing about playing with Thomas is the calmness he brings to play with the team," Rice said. "He doesn't always get the recognition he deserves. I'm quite lucky Thomas is there, and he lets me roam up and down." Rice's comments underscore the importance of Partey's role in the team.

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

The match will be a significant test for the team, and Partey's presence will be crucial in their bid to overcome the deficit from the first leg.
