And Partey has now confirmed that he has converted to the Islamic religion, disclosing that his Moroccan girlfriend is behind his decision to convert.
In a chit-chat with Ghanaian media personality Nana Aba Anamoah, the former Atletico Madrid midfielder revealed that he switched from Christianity because of his girlfriend whom he loves dearly and would do anything to make her happy.
“I’m now a Muslim and I converted because of my girlfriend whom I love very much. My Muslim name is Yakubu,” Partey said.
