BREAKING NEWS: Arsenal Issue Official Statement as Thomas Partey is Charged – Fabrizio Romano CONFIRMS.

 

LIVE UPDATE — London, England 🚨

Arsenal Football Club have officially broken their silence following reports that former midfielder Thomas Partey has been charged today in connection with ongoing legal proceedings.

In a brief but firm statement released by the club this afternoon, the Gunners clarified their position:

“The player’s contract ended on June 30. Due to ongoing legal proceedings the club is unable to comment on the case.”

This comes as Fabrizio Romano, one of football’s most reliable sources, CONFIRMED moments ago that Thomas Partey is now officially charged, marking a serious development in the saga that has remained under heavy speculation for months.

🚨 Fabrizio Romano Tweeted:

“Thomas Partey has now officially been charged. Arsenal confirm the player’s contract ended on June 30 — the club will not comment further due to legal proceedings. 🔴⚖️ #AFC”

The Ghanaian international, who joined Arsenal from Atlético Madrid in October 2020 for £45 million, had his contract quietly expire at the end of last month. There had been speculation about a possible contract extension or move abroad, but the club’s statement now confirms his official departure.

Sources close to the situation have hinted that Arsenal had been aware of the potential legal situation for some time and planned accordingly. The club had also not included Partey in their pre-season promotional campaigns or training photos in recent weeks, further fueling rumours about his exit.

Fans and pundits have taken to social media with mixed reactions — some expressing concern over the gravity of the situation, while others are demanding transparency.

This story is developing, and more details are expected to emerge in the coming hours as the legal case progresses. Arsenal, for now, have drawn a line, distancing themselves from further involvement with the player.
