Oleksandr Zinchenko has named Arsenal teammate Thomas Partey as the most underrated player in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

Partey played a key role at the heart of Arsenal\u2019s midfield last season as Mikel Arteta\u2019s side finished runners-up to Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title.<\/p>\n

In a surprising change for the start of the season, Arteta has opted to play Partey at right-back following the arrival of Declan Rice in the summer.<\/p>\n

But Zinchenko believes Partey is the best defensive midfielder in the Premier League and rates his Arsenal teammate above both Casemiro and Rodri.<\/p>\n

When asked who he believes is the most underrated player in the Premier League, Zinchenko told Vibe With Five: \u2018Underrated\u2026 I think Thomas Partey.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Asked if he feels Partey is better than Casemiro, Zinchenko replied: \u2018Listen, I don\u2019t want to say something bad, he\u2019s absolutely a world-class player as well, Casemiro, five Champions Leagues. But for me, if you wanted me to choose one, it would be Partey.<\/p>\n

\u2018I had the debate in my head, who is the best holding midfielder I have ever played with. It was between Fernandinho, Rodri and Partey.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s a tough one. I watched Fernandinho when he was at Shakhtar and he helped me so much. I love him like an older brother, but Thomas Partey\u2026 I don\u2019t know.\u2019<\/p>\n

Asked by Rio Ferdinand if he believes Partey is better than Rodri, Zinchenko replied: \u2018Rio, please come and see him in a training session. He has everything.<\/p>\n

\u2018Rodri absolutely fits so well in City\u2019s system, if you take him out it is a different City, for sure, no question. He is the main detail and that is the hardest position to play.\u2019<\/p>\n
