Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey has welcomed the arrival of Thomas Lemar.

Partey is happy with the competition the former AS Monaco star will create.

"Competition within a team is normal, as it always is. What you must do is concentrate and continue playing as a team to fight for titles," he said.

"It is also very important that there are players coming from the youth system, it isn't easy to do that.

"They serve as the perfect example for other young people who want to become like them."
