Ghana and Atletico Madrid's rising star Thomas Partey has revealed that his dad was so passionate about his career to the point that he had to sell some of his belongings to enable him make his first trip to Europe.
The now trump card of Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone revealed in an emotional interview that he was lucky to have a dad who was very particular about how his career developed.
'My dad did not tell me this but I heard him say to a friend that he had to sell some of his stuff when I was first going to Europe,' Partey told Citi-FM based in Accra-Ghana
'The white men who were sending me there did their part but I think he also had to sort out some issues but that is it.'
Partey played in 13 league games for Atletico Madrid in the league and scored two goals including a driving one against Levante that earned his side all three points.
He also recently made his international debut for the Black Stars in a game against Mauritius.
