Laryea Kingston rates Michael Essien ahead of Thomas Partey as a better midfielder

Former Ghana winger Laryea Kingston has rated Michael Essien ahead of Thomas Partey as the best midfielder. Although Kingston acknowledged Partey’s talent, he emphasized Essien’s remarkable achievements, particularly his success with Chelsea.

Kingston praised Essien for his consistency and ability to become a key player in a highly competitive Chelsea team.

He described playing alongside Essien as a privilege, highlighting his regular presence in the team.

While Partey has had success with Arsenal, winning titles like the UEFA Super Cup and La Liga, Kingston believes Essien’s impact, including his UEFA Champions League and Premier League victories, sets him apart. Essien retired in 2020 after a distinguished career with Chelsea, Real Madrid, and AC Milan.
