Ghana international Thomas Partey made his return to the Arsenal starting XI for the preseason friendly clash with English League One side Ipswich Town at the Gunners’ London Colney training ground a week ago. The Ghana national team vice-captain played the first 45 minutes as Arsenal thrashed their guests 5-1 thanks to the goals from Eddie Nketiah (hat-trick), Albert-SambiLokonga and substitute Folarin Balogun who has just returned from a loan spell at English Championship outfit Middlesbrough.
