A former Arsenal footballer has been charged with two further counts of rape.

Thomas Partey is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 13 March to face the charges, which relate to one alleged victim in 2020.

The alleged offence was reported to police in August 2025.

In September, the 32-year-old appeared at Southwark Crown Court to deny five counts of rape against two other women, and a charge of sexual assault against a third.

Those alleged offences took place between 2021 and 2022, when he played for Arsenal.

The Ghanaian midfielder, who now plays for Spanish club Villarreal, is due to face trial at the same court on 2 November.

His lawyer previously said he "denies all the charges against him".

Partey joined Arsenal from Atletico Madrid in 2020 in a transfer worth around £45m, before leaving the club in June last year.

He has made more than 50 appearances for Ghana, including at the World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations.
