Paparazzi spot Partey and Salis Samed in a chill mood

A video circulating on TikTok captured the pair soaking in the vibrant atmosphere.

The clip opens with Salis Samed appearing first on screen. Clearly uncomfortable with the bright lights shining on him, he signalled for them to be turned off. Seconds later, the lights dimmed, giving him a bit more comfort.

Dressed in a stylish off-black designer T-shirt, Salis completed his look with a red cap, glasses, a chain, and sparkling earrings.

Thomas Partey followed closely behind. The Arsenal midfielder kept things simple with an all-black outfit and a matching black cap.

Fans react to viral video of Partey and Salis

It didn’t take long for social media users to drop their thoughts in the comments section. Here are some of the standout reactions compiled by YEN.com.gh:

"NSA nom saaa😂😂"

Come❤️To❤️Mummy shared a similar view:

"When you see them at the garage, you go vex NSA nkwaaa."

NO DOUBT identified the location:

"Exhale Lounge East Legon."

Although both players were seen enjoying a quiet evening out, their seasons could not have been more different.

How Partey performed in the 2024/25 season

Thomas Partey finally had a full run of games in an Arsenal shirt, making it his most consistent campaign since his move from Atletico Madrid in 2020.

Transfermarkt reports he featured in 52 matches in all competitions, scoring four goals and assisting three more—a solid return from midfield.

His current deal with Arsenal is due to expire on June 30. Talks are ongoing to keep him at the club, but if things fall through, several European heavyweights are lining up.

Barcelona, Juventus, and former side Atletico Madrid are all reportedly interested in luring him away from North London.

How Salis Samed perform at Sunderland

In contrast, Salis Samed struggled with injuries during his loan spell at Sunderland.

The Black Cats gave him limited minutes en route back to the Premier League, with the Ghanaian managing just 10 appearances throughout the season.

According to Ghanasoccernet, the lack of impact meant Sunderland opted not to trigger a permanent deal, and he is now set to return to RC Lens ahead of the next campaign.
