The former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is about to finish a move to Villarreal, the 32 -year -old should sign a two -year contract which will maintain him in Spain until 2027.
Party, who left Arsenal at the end of June, when his contract expired, has already undergone a doctor with the Liga team.
The prospect of playing football from the Champions League again would again be a key factor in its decision to join Villarreal.
The international of Ghana had discussions on the extension of his stay at the Emirates stadium, but the talks collapsed during the contractual conditions.
Party initially joined Arsenal from Atletico Madrid in 2020 for around 45.4 million pounds sterling.
In five seasons in northern London, he made 167 appearances and scored nine goals, featuring both in the midfield and sometimes in the right back.
Only last season, he played 52 games in all competitions.
This decision comes in the context of an ongoing legal affair.
On July 4, Party was accused of five rape chiefs and a chief of sexual assault.
He denied all the accusations. The case stems from an investigation which began in February 2022, during which he continued to represent Arsenal.
He should appear before the Westminster Court of First Instance on Tuesday, August 5.
If the agreement is finalized, Villarreal will add a very experienced midfielder to their team while they are preparing for the new campaign.
