According to The Standard, court records show that allegations against Partey emerged between April 2021 and June 2022, when he was still an Arsenal player before his contract concluded on June 30, 2025. However, the charges were filed just four days after his departure from North London.

An Arsenal spokesperson indicated that Partey’s contract was terminated due to these legal issues.

Before leaving Arsenal, Partey signed with the Spanish club Villarreal.

Fans of Villarreal have expressed their disappointment on social media regarding the signing, with some launching a petition and others flooding the club’s fan inbox with protests.
