Thomas Partey 'set to join LaLiga side' as free agent - despite ex-Arsenal star facing rape charges

Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey will reportedly return to LaLiga after departing the north London club as a free agent at the end of last season.

Last month, Partey, 32, was charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. He is accused of attacking three women between 2021 and 2022.

His charges, which followed a three-year investigation by Scotland Yard, arrived just five days after he left Arsenal on June 30.

Partey denies the allegations and will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on Tuesday, August 5.
