Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has officially joined Villarreal on a one-year deal after being granted bail while facing ongoing rape charges.
The 32-year-old, who was charged four days after the expiration of his contract at the north London club in June, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday to face five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.
He is accused of two counts of rape against one woman and three counts against another. The sexual assault allegation relates to a third woman, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has said.
