Ghanaian footballers had a brilliant 2024/25 season across Europe and the world, putting in strong performances and excelling at their various clubs.
Pulse Ghana presents the top five standout players based on their impact this season. This impact is categorized into overall goal contributions, consistency and command for their teams.
5. Thomas Partey – Arsenal (England)
Ghanaian singer Gyakie has revealed her all-time favourite rapper from Ghana, and it’s a surprising choice. Steering away from the mainstream names fans might expect, she highlighted a less obvious artist, sparking conversation among music lovers.
Partey contributed to six goals – four goals and two assists, in 52 appearances for Arsenal this campaign. He was especially important during the Champions League quarterfinals against Real Madrid, where his experience helped the team.
His absence was felt in the semi-finals first leg where they lost to PSG and was unable to turn the tie around as Arsenal were ultimately knocked out of the competition.
With his contract ending in June 2025, many clubs are now keeping an eye on his future. However, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is keen on keeping the 31-year-old at the Emirates.
