Partey's nomination is a big recognition of his strong performances this season. He has been a key figure for Arsenal, showing great skill, smart decision-making, and leadership in the middle of the pitch.
The 31-year-old played in 52 matches this season, scoring four goals and providing three assists. His efforts helped Arsenal finish second in the Premier League and reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League where they knocked out by Paris Saint-Germain.
Known for his ability to control games, stop attacks, and guide younger teammates, Partey has become one of the most trusted midfielders in European football. He has shown both experience and energy throughout the season, making him an important part of Mikel Arteta’s squad.
