Thomas Partey will feature for Arsenal in the Europa League after being included in the squad.

The Black Stars midfielder is part of the 25-man squad registered with UEFA for the group stages expected to start later this month.

Arteta trusts that the 27-year-old can make a major contribution to their trophy bid.

Partey has experience of winning the tournament in 2018 with Atletico Madrid. He played a key role in the Madrid club's triumph.

The Black Stars deputy captain completed his transfer to the Gunners from Atletico Madrid on Monday.

He signed a long-term contract after the Gunners paid his 50 million euros release clause.

The 27-year-old has become the club's third highest-paid player.
