Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey says the January arrival of Jorginho has been good for him.

Partey believes the competition can lift his game.

“For me, it is something that always happened. I have always had competition, which is good for me. I enjoy it," said Partey.

“I am really happy for him (Jorginho) because for a couple of weeks he was the best at training and then at the end you see that in the game.

“I am really happy for him and also happy that every player is ready to step in, so nobody is able to sleep.

“I think it is good and I hope everyone in that position will be ready to step in when they have the chance.

“The purpose of the club is to create competition and that helps the club to grow more, and also pushes us to be able to give our best in the game.

“I think it is good. Anytime you have good competition, with no problems, it is the best way to achieve what you want to achieve. This is easy because everyone is ready to give their best."
