Arteta Defends Arsenal's Handling of Partey Departure

Thomas Partey, the 32-year-old Ghana midfielder, left Arsenal at the end of June after his contract expired without renewal.
British authorities charged Partey days later with multiple allegations, including five offenses of rape and one related to sexual assault, connected to incidents occurring between 2021 and 2022.
Arsenal released a statement on July 4, the day of Partey's arrest, confirming his contract end and stating they cannot comment on ongoing legal matters.
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta, speaking at the club's pre-season tour in Singapore, said the club followed the correct protocols and was clear in its statement about Partey's departure.
Partey denies all allegations and is scheduled to attend a hearing in London on August 5, while Arsenal continues with their pre-season preparations and aims to strengthen their squad depth.
