Tema Youth to gain about £2million from Partey’s transfer fee

Ghanaian second tier side Tema Youth are set to gain about £2million from the transfer of their former midfielder Thomas Partey to English side Arsenal. The 27-year-old joined the London-based club from Spanish side Atletico Madrid in a deal worth £45million after the Gunners triggered his buyout clause.

Tema Youth are entitled to claim part of 5% of the value of the transfer sum for Partey because of the FIFA rule stipulates that clubs that train players during the formative stages of their careers benefit.
