On June 30th, Thomas Partey (32 years old) came to the end of his adventure with Arsenal . A story that began in 2020. After a stint with Atlético de Madrid, the midfielder settled in the English capital. There, he participated in 166 matches in all competitions (9 goals) and acquired a solid reputation.
But this summer of 2025, the Ghanaian reached a turning point in his adventure with the Londoners. His contract expired on June 30th. While a contract extension was long discussed in the UK, he ultimately did not extend his lease. His name has recently been mentioned at Barça and Fenerbahçe.
Thomas Partey will have to explain himself
But Thomas Partey will first have to resolve his problems with the English justice system. For several years now, rumors have been circulating about a murky rape case involving the player. This Friday, he was officially accused of rape and sexual assault by the courts. "The Crown Prosecution Service has authorized the Metropolitan Police Service to charge a man after a dossier of evidence was submitted by detectives. The Metropolitan Police have issued a charge and a requisition against Thomas Partey, 32 (13/06/1992), of Hertfordshire, in connection with the following offenses: five counts of rape, one count of sexual assault."
The acts are believed to have been committed between 2021 and 2022 and involve three women, according to Sky Sports . The English media outlet explains that he had already been arrested once in July 2022 but that he was not publicly named at the time, having continued to play for Arsenal during the investigation. But this time, the justice system does not intend to let him go. Partey is due to appear before Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on August 5. He obviously faces a very high risk, including imprisonment, as was the case in the Benjamin Mendy case.
