Ghana International Thomas Partey has joined La Liga Club Villarreal following his release from Arsenal.
The 32 -year -old, who signed Arsenal in a £ 45m deal from Atletico Madrid in 2020, left Wagosi when his contract expired in late June.
Four days later, Partey was charged with five counts of rape against two women and charges of sexual assault against a third woman.
Partey, who denies the charges, was granted a conditional guarantee Tuesday at Westminster Resident Magistrate’s court.
Under the terms of the bond, the party must not contact any of the three women and must notify the police about any change of address or travel internationally.
In a statement, Villarreal said: “The club knows that the player is currently involved in legal cases in the UK.
“The player completely holds his guilt and denies all the charges against him.
“The club respects the basic principle of the concept of innocence and will await the outcome of the court process, which will be responsible for explaining the facts of the case.
“Because of the law in England in connection with the ongoing cases the club cannot give further opinion.”
