'Arsenal followed right processes over Partey'

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says he is "100%" sure the club followed the right processes when dealing with former midfielder Thomas Partey, who was under police investigation for multiple counts of rape while he was playing for the club.

The Ghana midfielder, 32, left Arsenal at the end of his contract on 30 June and four days later was charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.

The offences are reported to have taken place in 2021 and 2022, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement on 4 July.
