It was another challenging week for Ghanaian players in the English Premier League, as none managed to secure a win for their respective teams. However, there were notable performances, including Thomas Partey’s milestone 100th appearance for Arsenal, while Mohammed Kudus continues his search for a breakthrough goal with West Ham.
Mohammed Kudus – West Ham
Mohammed Kudus featured for the full 90 minutes in West Ham’s 3-0 defeat to Chelsea. Despite the loss, Kudus showed glimpses of his dribbling prowess, completing the most dribbles in the match. West Ham’s sluggish start to the season has been mirrored in Kudus’ performances, as he still searches for his first Premier League goal.

Jordan Ayew and Fatawu Issahaku – Leicester City
Jordan Ayew was Leicester’s most fouled player in their 1-1 draw against Everton, showcasing his usual resilience and work rate over the full 90 minutes. Fatawu Issahaku, however, saw only a few moments of action, coming on as a late substitute in the 90th minute. This marks his second consecutive game starting on the bench.
Antoine Semenyo – Bournemouth
Antoine Semenyo put in a spirited display in Bournemouth’s 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. The forward found the back of the net early on, but his goal was ruled out. Semenyo has been one of Bournemouth’s most in-form players this season, showing promise despite the team’s struggles.
Jeffrey Schlupp – Crystal Palace
Jeffrey Schlupp had minimal involvement in Crystal Palace’s 0-0 draw against Manchester United, coming off the bench in the 90th minute. Palace’s defensive resilience earned them a valuable point at Old Trafford.
Thomas Partey – Arsenal
Thomas Partey marked a significant milestone, making his 100th appearance for Arsenal in their 2-2 draw with Manchester City. Partey was instrumental in midfield, helping the Gunners secure a draw despite being down to 10 men for part of the match.
Meanwhile, Kamaldeen Sulemana remains sidelined with an ankle injury, and Tariq Lamptey didn’t feature in Brighton’s matchday squad. As the season progresses, Ghanaian players will be hoping for better fortunes in the coming weeks.
