Arsenal star Thomas Partey was with his Ghana team-mates when he met his doppelganger, with the pair’s interaction being uploaded to social media leaving fans and his squad in hysterics

Partey stands a bit taller

Thomas Partey met incredible lookalike ‘Thomas After Partey’ while on international duty, leaving fans – and his Ghana team-mates – in fits of laughter.

The Arsenal midfielder was with the Ghana side ahead of their World Cup Qualifying first-leg draw in Kumasi with Nigeria when he met his clone. Footage showed the player next to someone who struck a huge resemblance to the 28-year-old, with his team-mate Kofi Kyereh posting the video on his Instagram story. The clip shows Partey decked out in Ghana training gear with his arms around his lookalike, who is wearing the Arsenal warm-up top.

Supporters on social media chimed in with just how similar the pair looked. One said: “When you’re popular you’ll surely find your look alike.

Another wrote: “Nah this guy looks more like Thomas than Thomas.”

Another asked: “How is it even possible?”

One quipped: “If this guy goes to Arsenal camp I swear they will think he is partey and start him in a match.”

Partey, who claimed the club’s player of the month gong for February, has been enjoying a fabulous period for the north London side this year. He played exceptionally well against Leicester earlier this month, a match in which he scored the opening goal before hitting the woodwork.

Partey finally met his match

Arsenal will be hoping the recent displays will mark a turn of fortune for the player who has for so long been hampered by injury. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, has spoken about the need for communication to achieve results. Arsenal find themselves in a Champions League spot with just ten games remaining and a lot of praise has been directed Arteta’s way as a result.

Speaking to Arsenal.com, Arteta, who turned 40 over the weekend, said: “Playing in one of the more difficult leagues in the world is a different challenge depending on where you have come from But also it’s about how much they do to adapt. They might not speak English when they arrive, but what can you do in a month or two months?

“They might say ‘it’s difficult for me’ but how much are you really trying? Because for me the language is an absolute basic. It’s the platform for everything. If not, you cannot communicate, make yourself understood or noticeable. You cannot create your figure, your identity, within the dressing room and the club without being able to communicate.”
