In response to news of the charges against Partey, the Ghanaian international’s lawyer Jenny Wiltshire said in a statement according to British media outlet BBC that,
“He has fully cooperated with the police and CPS throughout their three-year investigation. He now welcomes the opportunity to finally clear his name. Given that there are now ongoing legal proceedings, my client is unable to comment further.”
Partey is a free agent whose five year deal with Arsenal ended on June 30 after negotiations between his party and Arsenal fell through.
