Former Aston Villa and Ghana international Nii Lamptey has warned Thomas Partey about a move to England.

Atletico Madrid midfielder Partey is being linked with Arsenal.

But Lamptey told Ocean 1 TV: "There are numerous offers coming for Thomas Teye Partey but his career will take a nosedive if he doesn't choose his next move well.

“The country and league he will pick will determine his future. I will advise him to stay in Spain rather than going to England or Italy.

“Per style of play, he can move within Spain and join another top club rather than focusing on the financial gains to move out of the country because that can be suicidal.

“Sometimes, decision making can destroy your career. My move to England was a wrong one for me.

“Aston Villa was a wrong move because their style of play was not going to suit me. If I had gone to France or Spain at that time, it would have helped my career more than going to England."
