Villarreal fans decry Thomas Partey’s proposed signing as club’s ‘darkest day’

Villarreal fans have expressed outrage over the club's reported pursuit of former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey, who is facing rape and sexual assault charges. Hundreds of fans have signed a petition urging the club to halt the transfer, describing it as the "darkest day in the club's history." Partey, who is accused of committing the alleged offenses in 2021 and 2022 while playing for Arsenal, appeared in a London court on Tuesday, charged with five counts of rape relating to two women and a charge of sexual assault against a third woman. The club's decision to potentially sign Partey has sparked widespread condemnation from its supporters, who are strongly opposed to the move.
