Ghanaian midfield maestro Thomas Partey has been shortlisted for the Best West African Player Abroad category at the inaugural 2025 Culture Info Sports (CIS) Awards, set to take place on June 20, 2025, in Conakry, Guinea.
Partey delivered an outstanding season under Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, featuring in 52 matches across all competitions. He scored four goals and provided three assists, playing a pivotal role in the club’s Premier League runner-up finish and their impressive run to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
Praised for his calm presence, tactical acumen, and control in midfield, Partey continues to shine as one of the most reliable players in European football. His nomination stands as a moment of national pride for Ghana, celebrating his ongoing contributions to the sport and his impact on the global stage.
He is up against tough contenders for the award, including Victor Osimhen (Nigeria, Galatasaray), Pape Matar Sarr (Senegal), Serhou Guirassy (Guinea), and Franck Yannick Kessié (Côte d’Ivoire).
