The news of Thomas Partey being arrested for rape is all over the internet, but no official source has confirmed or denied the allegation.
Thomas Partey is a Ghanaian professional football player, famous for playing for the Premier League club “Arsenal.”
In addition, he plays for the national team of Ghana.
In 2013, Partey started his professional career at the Spanish club, “Atlético Madrid.”
He was transferred on a loan to the club “Mallorca” and “Almería,” before returning to Atlético again in 2015.
Moreover, in 2018, Thomas was able to lift the UEFA Super Cup and UEFA Europa League.
After two years, he was able to secure the position of midfielder from the reputed football club, “Arsenal” with a transfer value of €50 million.
As a result, he became the most expensive player from Ghana in history.
Thomas has also shown great performance for his homeland team and was awarded the Ghana Player of the Year for two consecutive years, in 2018 and 2019.
Was Thomas Partey Arrested?
According to a police report, on July 4, 2022, a North London football player was arrested for allegedly raping a girl, in her 20s.
However, the name of the player was not revealed since it was a crucial legal matter, and he is supposedly a famous football personality whose reputation is on the line.
Even with no name and age, fans started to speculate the name of the player.
Many fans and critics have guessed the alleged player to be none other than Thomas Partey as he perfectly fits the description.
Since he lives in North London and has carried a reputation of playing from a popular club, every suspicion has fallen upon him.
In addition, Partey hasn’t spoken a single word about his allegation neither on social media nor elsewhere.
Arsenal fans and his well-wishers are praying for the man not to be Thomas but with no further information, all we can do is wait.
Thomas Partey Rape Allegations
Thomas Partey has been alleged for raping a girl and was arrested by the police. According to the victim, the alleged rape took place in June of 2022.
The arrested player is also facing two more rape charges against different women.
The police have only revealed it to be a popular football player from North London that plays in Premier League since the legal procedure is still going on.
Whoever the player was, he spent 30 hours in the police station and was released after getting bail.
Currently, the man is set free till August and no further information has been leaked to the media.
The police have assured that after the legal procedure is completed, the identity of the player will be revealed if necessary.
Furthermore, since it is just speculation and allegation, we cannot 100% be sure that the player is Thomas.
Where is Thomas Partey now?
Thomas Partey is currently in London in his home.
A previous report claimed that he traveled to Germany with his team for pre-season but it was later confirmed to be false.
It raises more suspicion for the player but some fans have argued that he has recently converted to Islam and was not in the city during the incident.
If Partey is somehow associated with the incident, whether he is guilty or not, he will miss the entire next season, which has worried fans since the news broke.
Thomas Partey is currently in London and did not travel with the Arsenal team to Germany. Apologies for any confusion caused with earlier tweet. #AFC

Thomas Partey Past Crime Incidents
With the news of the rape allegation, fans are starting to wonder if Thomas Partey has ever been in past crime incidents.
Nonetheless, Partey hasn’t been involved in any criminal history. He is an honest and hardworking player, who has made a positive impact on Arsenal and his country.
Growing up, he had a difficult childhood, with financial crises always surrounding his family.
When he had to travel from Ghana to Spain for trial, his dad sold his possession to buy a boot, ticket, and visa for his journey.
With such difficulty, Thomas has achieved success, and it would be wrong if we suspect him based on little to no evidence.
The star has dedicated his blood, sweat, and tears to concur fame and wealth, and tarnishing it based on allegation will simply be wrong.
However, shutting our eyes and ears is also not a solution.
Hence, the only thing we can do is wait for more information from his team, his lawyer, the police, or even himself.
