Thomas Partey is reportedly set to join Villarreal on a free transfer following his exit from Arsenal.

Arsenal are "unable to comment" after Thomas Partey was formally charged with multiple sexual offences. The Metropolitan Police have charged Partey with a total of six offences, five of them being rape and one of sexual assault. These charges are connected to allegations made by three different women.

Thomas Partey was due to get married on Saturday - the day after he was charged with rape by the Crown Prosecution Service.

Arsenal have decided to part ways with Thomas Partey once his contract expires on Monday. The Ghanaian midfielder was in talks with the Gunners over signing a new deal but they could not reach an agreement. The 32-year-old was a key part of Mikel Arteta's squad in the 2024-25 campaign, where he made 52 appearances across all competitions and recorded seven goal contributions.

There are plenty of big names who could walk away from their clubs for absolutely nothing at the end of June - but who would be the best signing?
