Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is currently under investigation by the Metropolitan Police following serious allegations of sexual assault. The Ghanaian international, a key player for the Gunners, has not been arrested, but authorities are actively looking into the claims.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that they received a report in June 2022 regarding an alleged incident involving the 30-year-old footballer. While no arrests have been made, the investigation remains ongoing.
Partey, who joined Arsenal from Atletico Madrid in 2020 for £45 million, has been a crucial part of Mikel Arteta's squad. His potential absence could significantly impact the team's performance as they prepare for the new Premier League season.
When approached for comment, Arsenal FC stated they would not be making any official statement regarding the matter at this time. The club has previously emphasised its zero-tolerance policy towards any form of violence or discrimination.
The allegations come at a sensitive time for Partey, who recently returned to pre-season training with Arsenal after helping Ghana qualify for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Football fans and human rights organisations are closely watching developments in this case, which highlights ongoing concerns about player conduct off the pitch. The Metropolitan Police have urged anyone with relevant information to come forward.
