Former Aston Villa forward Nii Odartey Lamptey has warned in-demand Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Party against a move to England this summer.
The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea with Italian giants Juventus and Inter Milan also reportedly keen.
Atletico maintain their desire to keep Partey at the club, although a release clause of just under £50million may take the decision out of their hands.
Lamptey struggled in the Premier League during unsuccessful stints with Villa and Coventry City and warns Partey that a bad decision could "destroy" his career.
“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,” Lamptey told Ocean 1 TV.
"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."

Lamptey, just because you weren't successful in the PL doesn't mean that Partey won't.

If Arsenal can buy Grealish n Partey, they can beat any Team in PL believe me. We don't need much players but lack creativity in the middle and that is why Auba is not scoring alot of goals

Lamptey, because you didn’t succeed in your move to the premier league does not mean others should listen to you. Your move was motivated mainly because of the financial gains at that time. Thomas Partey is trying to develop and become a better player so please keep ya advice. Thank you very much!!!

Envious p'ple will never develop. Anyway partey is a CM and Man utd has Mctominay and other developing young talented players in Midfield:- James Garner,Dylan Levitt and Mejbri. Maybe Arsenal is more disappointed by this Aston Villa Envious man.

U ar the most jealous being i have ever seen. The fact that a useless player like u failed in EPL , doesn't mean a brave n super defensive midfielder like Partey can also fail Nope!!
