Thomas Partey has signed a season-long contract with Villarreal following his departure from Arsenal. He will begin training with the team despite being involved in an ongoing court case regarding serious criminal charges. Villarreal CF acknowledged the legal proceedings and stated their support for Partey’s presumption of innocence. He previously played 167 matches for Arsenal, scoring nine goals, after joining from Atletico Madrid in 2020. Villarreal's LaLiga campaign starts on August 16 against Real Oviedo.
"The club is aware that the player is currently involved in legal proceedings in England. The player vehemently defends his innocence and denies all charges against him."
"The club respects his presumption of innocence as a fundamental principle and is awaiting the verdict of the courts, which will be responsible for clarifying the facts of the case."
