“Partey’s roles for both club and country are different from each other but key,” said Hughton. “His role in the team is as a continuity player.”

“He is not the type of player to expect to dribble past multiple players. His role is important to what the team does even if he doesn’t always stand out”, he added.

Hughton’s remarks come ahead of Ghana’s critical 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Angola on Thursday, where a win would significantly enhance their chances of qualifying for the 2024 tournament in Ivory Coast.
