Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has appeared in a London court to face charges of rape and sexual assault.
The 32-year-old Ghanaian international is facing five counts of rape involving two women, along with a charge of sexual assault related to a third woman.
These alleged incidents occurred between 2021 and 2022 while he was with Arsenal.
On Tuesday morning, Partey arrived at Westminster Magistrates’ Court dressed in a black zip-neck sweater and carrying a navy blazer, quickly passing by reporters.
His charges came just four days after he left Arsenal when his contract ended in June.

Partey’s attorney, Jenny Wiltshire, has stated that he denies all allegations against him and is eager to have the chance to prove his innocence.
