Almeria have officially announced the signing of Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Teye Partey on loan from Atletico Madrid, Goal Ghana can exclusively reveal.

Almeria had been in somewhat lengthy discussions with Atletico about securing the services of the player, during the last few weeks as Goal Ghana revealed two weeks ago, but have now finally secured his move.

The talented enforcer is expected to continue his development at the top level after featuring last season for Spanish Segunda side Mallorca, where he made 37 appearances and banged in five goals.

Partey was also on the radar of another La Liga side Elche.
