Ghana superstar Thomas Partey has exclusively told Ghanasoccernet.com that claims that he was involved in a ‘heated discussion’ with Arsenal teammate Lacazette are wide off the mark, insisting that such an incident ‘will never happen’.
In a direct reply to Ghana’s leading football news outfit, the Gunners midfield maestro rejected the reports in the English media that the bust up occured during the Gunners victory over AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup.
According to Arsenal journalist Chris Wheatley, he caught the pair in an explosive chat at half-time, which was widely reported in the English media
Chris Wheatley said on his YouTube channel: “When the players were actually going into the tunnel, I noticed a fairly heated discussion between Alexandre Lacazette and Thomas Partey.
“It looked like Lacazette was maybe a little bit frustrated; perhaps he was isolated up front.
“Of course, he did score from the penalty spot, but I don’t think it was the best performance from Lacazette against Wimbledon. And clearly, there was a talk on the stroke of half-time between the two players.
“I’m not quite sure what it was about, but Lacazette was fairly animated in terms of throwing his hands up in the air, shrugging his shoulders.”
But the Ghana’s biggest player of the moment took to social media when Ghanasoccernet.com reported of the claim by the Arsenal jounralist inisting the claim if false.
“Delete this please. Is not ture and will never happen,” Partey said on Ghanasoccernet.com’s Twitter handle.

Lacazette was on target while Partey excelled in midfield as Arsenal overcame Wimbledon 3-0 to set up a fourth-round meeting with Leeds United.
Partey retained his place in the starting lineup for Sunday’s impressive win over Tottenham. The French attacker on the other hand was left on the bench.
