New Arsenal boy Thomas Partey has joined up with his Ghana teammates in Turkey for two friendly games against Qatar and Mali.
The 27-year old became the most expensive Ghanaian player after completing a 45million pound move to the North London side to widespread acclaim but must now focus on his international career beginning with a meeting against Mali on Friday.
He is one of 19 players available to Ghana boss C.K Akonnor who would be taking charge of his first game since being elevated to the role after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
