Speaking about his position in the national team, the former Atletico Madrid star said he is ready to play anywhere.
“I think it is the decision of the coach and he knows where every player in the pitch can play," Partey said.
“We started with me playing behind because we have a lot of talent ahead who can score goals. The couch made a change for Baba to come in and I moved forward.
“Everywhere on the pitch where I can help in the national team, I am ready to sacrifice. I don’t mind defending, attacking.”
