Former Arsenal midfielder, Thomas Partey, who currently plays for Villarreal in Spain, has been accused with two further rape charges.
The 32-year-old, who broke off his relationship with the Gunners in the summer of 2025 when his contract expired and he became a free agent, will be on trial for allegedly raping two women and sexually abusing a third in November.
According to Goal, the Crown Prosecution Service has now authorised two additional counts of rape against Partey.
An official statement reads: “These new charges relate to a separate report of non-recent offences in 2020 involving one additional woman and follow a new investigation by the Metropolitan Police. These allegations were first reported in August 2025.”

Partey To Appear In Court
Partey will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday, March 13 in response to the additional accusations.
The Ghana international entered a not guilty plea to five charges of rape and one charge of sexual assault during a September 2025 appearance at Southwark Crown Court.
Partey joined Arsenal in October 2020, and the alleged offences occurred between 2021 and 2022. He made 167 appearances for the Premier League side over five seasons, making him a first-team regular at the time.
The former Atletico Madrid midfielder was charged in the summer of 2025, four days after his contract with Arsenal expired. He is still out on bail and is scheduled to go on trial on November 2, 2026, for the initial charges.
Partey is free to play professional football notwithstanding the terms of his bail. He must inform the police of any international travel 24 hours before his departure and is prohibited from getting in touch with any of the complainants.
