Villarreal soccer star Thomas Partey returned to a London courtroom on Monday, where he pleaded not guilty to two additional rape charges. The Ghanaian international has consistently denied a total of five counts of rape and a sexual assault charge involving multiple women, spanning incidents from 2021 to 2022.
Partey, aged 32, faces these further accusations related to an incident in December 2020, during his time at Premier League side Arsenal. He formally rejected the latest allegations in Southwark Crown Court as he continues to contest the existing charges.
Set to return to court in November, Partey's trial may yet face delays. Previously a key player for Arsenal, Partey moved to Villarreal last summer on concluding his contract, which originally brought him from Atletico Madrid for 50 million euros in 2020.
