Thomas Partey's agent reveals why he chose Al-Shabab move

Thomas Partey's agent has explained why the Ghanaian midfielder opted to join Al-Shabab in the latest transfer window. Jose Daniel Jimenez, the player's representative, spoke exclusively to Ajel about the reasons behind this decision. Jimenez expressed Al-Shabab's enthusiasm in securing Partey for their squad, which is focused on competing for titles in the upcoming Roshn Saudi Pro League season.

Despite receiving strong offers from Turkish and Spanish clubs, Al-Shabab's offer was deemed the most suitable and best fit for the experienced player. Jimenez highlighted that the club's serious and outstanding offer matched Partey's high technical value and distinguished career in European football. Additionally, the agent confirmed that the player and his family felt comfortable with the idea of settling in Riyadh due to its ideal living environment.

Partey, who has played for top European clubs such as Atletico Madrid and Arsenal, had a notable season last year, appearing in 32 matches across all competitions for Arsenal without scoring a goal or providing an assist.
