Mikel's Transfer Partey

The Athletic's Amy Lawrence and James McNicholas join Ian Stone to discuss the much-anticipated arrival of Thomas Partey on deadline day.

They reflect on the rest of the business carried out by the club during the transfer window, and look back at some memorable transfer stories from yesteryear.

They focus on the not-so-illustrious list of players who have previously worn Thomas Partey's number 18 shirt, and a song that everyone can agree on, care of the Beastie Boys.
