Former Arsenal footballer Thomas Partey was on Friday charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault after complaints by three women, UK police said. 

The charges against the 32-year-old Ghana international relate to alleged offences that took place between 2021 and 2022, the Metropolitan Police force said in a statement. 


Lawyers for Partey, 32, said in a statement he ‘denies all the charges against him.’ 


“He has fully cooperated with the police and CPS throughout their three-year investigation. He now welcomes the opportunity to finally clear his name,” said lawyer Jenny Wiltshire.

Partey, a midfielder, played 130 English Premier League games for Arsenal between 2020 and 2025. His contract with the Gunners expired four days ago. He has previously also played for Spanish giants Atletico Madrid (2013-2020).
