THOMAS PARTEY met his incredible lookalike "Thomas After Partey" - and his Ghana team-mates were understandably in hysterics.

The Arsenal midfielder linked up with the Black Stars for their crunch World Cup play-off with rivals Nigeria.

Thomas Partey met his lookalike on international duty with Ghana

And ahead of Friday's 0-0 first-leg draw in Kumasi, striker Kofi Kyereh posted the sensational video on his Instagram story.

In the hilarious clip, the original Partey is decked out in a Ghana training t-shirt and white shorts.

He wraps his arm around the doppelganger who has a scarily similar face shape, haircut, beard and smile.

And to top it off, Partey 2.0 is rocking an Arsenal warm-up tee just like the £200,000-a-week star at the Emirates.

However, the unknown 'twin' - who completed the look with black trousers, funky Nike trainers and a designer pouch bag - is a few inches shorter.

Regardless, the pair and the Ghana squad behind the camera could not contain their laughter at the phenomenal similarities.

And Kyereh added a photo of the duo, labelling them: "Thomas Partey and Thomas After Partey," in a top-class quip.

Fans on social media were loving it, too.

One wrote: "Nah this guy looks more like Thomas than Thomas."

Another asked: "How is it even possible?"

But it would take something very special for the lookalike to replicate what Partey has been doing on the pitch of late.

The former Atletico Madrid has been in red-hot form for Arsenal, claiming the club's player of the month gong for February.

He then backed this up with a superb performance against Leicester, scoring the opening goal and then striking the woodwork.

That led one on Twitter to joke the meeting was between the new No5 Partey at Emirates and his former No18 self from last season.

And a final person explained: "The way he’s been playing so well recently, it looks like there are two of him on the pitch, now we know the truth.

"Of course, now the secret is out, we’ll get punished for fielding 12 players - it’ll probably be a fine, docked a couple of points and Xhaka will be booked."

Now Ghana interim head coach Otto Addo will be desperate for more of the same in the second leg in Abuja where victory would book their place at Qatar 2022.
