Former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure backs his old club in the Premier League title race, but acknowledges the competition is very strong this season.Besides the strong teams staking a claim for glory, the Ivorian legend, who is currently working as a youth coach at Tottenham Hotspur, picked out Arsenal’s Thomas Partey for special praise.”At the moment, it is tight. Man City are just playing well and are hoping Arsenal will drop points. I think Arsenal will drop points. It is a long way. Still, the pressure is there. Manchester United are still doing well, Liverpool got a brilliant result a few days ago, and Arsenal is competing exceptionally well.”Yaya Toure on Partey – Yeah he’s brilliant, it’s really nice to see.“I think now every weekend when Arsenal have to play, I have to be honest, I would go just to watch him.“He’s just unbelievable.”(@talkSPORT ) pic.twitter.com/ICjvr5MShX— Doc (@karthikadhaigal) March 8, 2023 Yaya’s City have been playing well of late – and recorded a gutsy 2-0 success over Newcastle last weekend thanks to goals from Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva. It was a win that put them within touching distance of the Gunners before their comeback victory over Bournemouth.Team chemistry and how players work for each other is a major factor for a title bid. Having been a part of a championship-winning side, Toure knows how to spot little signs that indicate how strong a team’s bond is.”Sometimes a team who can become champions you can always smell that luck and positivity. When I see games most of the time, you can feel champions when the team score and the camaraderie between the players and the celebrations and enjoying playing for each other.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7079984##Toure’s exploits for Olympiacos, Barcelona and Manchester City made him one of the most successful African footballers in history. Now he can see greatness in the Ghanaian star who makes Areta’s side tick.”Yeah, Partey’s brilliant. It’s really nice to see. I think now, every weekend when Arsenal have to play, I have to be honest, I would go just to watch him. He’s just unbelievable.”
