In the middle of Arsenal’s title chase, one question is sneaking into the fans’ group chats, Twitter threads, and late-night football debates: Should Thomas Partey get a contract extension?
And if you ask most Arsenal fans, the answer is short, sweet, and loud YES! Followed by a long speech comparing him to midfield legends.
Mr. calm and collected: Partey’s silent takeover
Let’s face it, Thomas Partey doesn’t make noise. He’s not out there doing TikTok dances, or crashing Bentleys on Instagram Live.
Instead, he just pulls up, laces his boots, and dominates midfield like a polite bouncer who doesn’t need to raise his voice.
In recent matches, the Ghanaian international has been cooking in silence. His positioning? Chef’s kiss.
His composure? Cooler than your ex’s responses. And his ball distribution? Like Amazon Prime fast, accurate, and everywhere.
Injury worries? or just Arsenal luck?
Now yes, we can’t pretend Partey’s had the cleanest injury record. At one point, it felt like his hamstring was trying to collect pension.
But when he is fit, the man plays like a hybrid of Patrick Vieira, Essien, and a Ghanaian uncle who’s tired of nonsense.
Fans know this. That’s why many are begging the club not to fumble this one.
The midfield chemistry is unmatched
Partey doesn’t just play well alone he brings out the best in others. Declan Rice plays with more freedom.
Ødegaard finds more space. Even the defenders breathe easier when Thomas is shielding them like an African mother shielding her child from insult.
Letting him go now would be like deleting your food delivery app when you’re hungry.
A petition or a protest? fans are ready
Some Arsenal fans are even suggesting a petition no jokes. That’s how passionate they are.

They want the board to extend Partey’s deal ASAP before some oil-rich club throws a shiny contract and snatches him away like he’s discount Balenciaga.

Verdict: lock him down
Arsenal, if you’re listening don’t overthink it. Give the man his contract. Throw in a jollof rice bonus and a free parking space at the Emirates if you must. Just don’t let Partey walk out the door.
Because when he’s fit, he’s not just part of the tea, he is the party.
