Former Arsenal player Thomas Partey will appear as an official Premier League trading card this season - despite being unemployed and accused of rape.
Partey's inclusion in the cards manufactured by Topps was approved by Arsenal earlier this season despite the fact they knew he was under investigation, sources have confirmed to Mail Sport.
Earlier this month, Partey was charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. That was after Arsenal had given the green light for his inclusion.
The 32-year-old is accused of attacking three women between 2021 and 2022.
