Tell yourself the truth, if you were a coach, would you pick Ndidi ahead of Partey?. Ndidi is just a tough-tackling CB masquerading as a DM. Please check Ndidi's performances for the SE and see what I mean. He can't create, can hardly hit accurate passes whether long or short, can't take good set pieces, and let's not even talk about his finishing/ shot accuracy.

Partey on the other hand is everything Ndidi is and everything Ndidi is not. A true midfielder, he passes with vision, tackles, dribbles, takes brilliant set pieces and can score goals too. Add to that the fact that Partey can play various positions from AM, CM to DM and has even featured on the wings while Ndidi can only play CB and DM.

So, tell me again why you would pick Ndidi ahead of Partey?.

The last game I watched was ManU vs Leicester last season, dude was very good and hungry and selfish, all you need to excel but of course he was subbed instead of Vardy. can't want to watch Algeria game, should be a perfect yardstick to evaluate how far we have gone.

I agree. I'll pick Partey over Ndidi every day of the week.

I think the limited midfield role he plays in Leceister has stagnated Ndidi's development and improvement of his abilities.

In Genk, Ndidi was more daring, attempted dribbles, drove forward, tried long range shots & had more responsibilities in the team.

The Ndidi in Leceister only tackles, wins the ball and passes it on.

He's been turned into an effective but boring player.

Are you serious? Arsenal got Partey for £45m by meeting his release clause. Same can't be done for Ndidi. So don't make it look like Arsenal could just bid for Ndidi and chose Partey.

Most clubs know they need a fortune for Ndidi.

Most clubs know they need a fortune for Ndidi.
Tackling
The pair are renowned for their strength
in winning back possession or stopping
opposition attacking midfielders but
there was a chasm in both stars’
numbers last term.
Unlike Partey, Ndidi was head and
shoulders above many players for tackles
made in the Premier League, with only
Manchester United right-back Aaron
Wan-Bissaka (138) attempting more
tackles than the Nigeria star’s 125.
The Leicester City man also won the
second-highest tackles in the entire
division with 76, behind only West Ham
United’s Declan Rice.
Partey, on the other hand, attempted 65
tackles throughout the season (29th in
La Liga), winning 45 of his total, a 69.2
percent success rate. This was,
interestingly, better than Ndidi’s who
won 62.4 percent of his tackles.
Interceptions & Blocks
While the Atletico defensive midfielder
ranked 12th in the Spanish top flight for
interceptions with 52, his number was
some way behind Ndidi’s 84, the top
ranked Prem star in this category.
The Leicester man didn’t have the most
blocks in the division, but was still the
Foxes’ top performer in this area, with
72, which placed him at 14th.
Partey ranked 30th in La Liga for blocks
made having stood in the path of a pass
or shot 56 times. This was higher than
all but two Atleti players – Saul Niguez
and Renan Lodi.
Passing
In the previous campaign, Ndidi and
Partey cemented their importance to
their respective side’s build-up, which
undoubtedly reflects in the numbers.
The Leicester man attempted 1649
passes, with 1416 reaching its intended
target, an 85.9 completion rate.
Furthermore, 138 of the Super Eagle’s
attempts were sent into the final third,
fourth in the Leicester squad and 29th in
the league, while 74 were termed
progressive.
The Ghanaian, on the other hand, outdid
his West African counterpart in volume
of passes made but was edged for
attempts completed – 1704 and 1414
respectively.
However, Partey played 179 passes into
the final third and as well as 186
progressive passes, highest and third-
highest in the Atleti side.
Ball retention & press resistance
Whilst eye test will be the true measure
of how these two excellent defensive
midfielders fare, some statistics put their
ability or otherwise to retain the ball and
beat the opposition’s press into context.
Ndidi miscontrolled the ball 18 times last
term and was dispossessed 26 times,
0.61 and 0.88 times per 90, compared to
Partey’s 20 miscontrols and 15
dispossessions, 0.71 and 0.53 per 90
respectively.
Even though the Nigerian rarely gives the
ball away, the Ghana man fares even
better, evidenced by the numbers.
Interestingly, the Atletico Madrid man
played the highest volume of passes
when pressed by an opponent with 298,
although his West African counterpart
outdid the 27-year-old having played
306 passes under pressure by an
opponent, which was fourth-highest for
the Foxes.
Duels
This is probably the area featuring the
greatest disparity in both players. Partey
not only won this category but floored
the Nigeria anchorman.
The Spanish-based player won 64
percent of his total tussles in La Liga to
Ndidi’s 56 percent in the Premier League,
despite the latter’s greater involvement
per game which read 8.1 to 6.4 total
duels won pg in the former Genk star’s
favour.
A breakdown of their battles showed
that Partey won 61 percent of his
ground duels and an impressive 71
percent of aerial challenges. Contrast this
with the 23-year-old Nigerian who won
57 percent of ground tussles and 55
percent for aerial duels, despite being
slightly taller than the more experienced
Atletico man.
Again, the Foxes midfielder wins more
duels in both categories per match, but
the gap in success rate is pretty
remarkable all the same.

Personally I think thier style of play isn't similar. if there's any African player to compare Ndidi to based on style of play then it should be Idrissa Gueye and not Partey. I see Partey in the mould of and Ndombele or a Cissoko.
Arsenal are not looking for another DM they've got that in Xhaka and Elneny. In Partey they've got an Pogba-esquee kind of player


And for Arsenal fans we've been here before every year since 2017, Lacazete, Auba, Pepe and now Partey
