Thomas Partey Begins Training with Villarreal After Sealing Move from Arsenal
Ghanaian international Thomas Partey has officially begun training with Villarreal as he prepares for the upcoming 2025/26 season. The experienced midfielder completed his move to the Spanish club on Thursday, August 7, joining as a free agent after parting ways with English side Arsenal.
Partey has signed a one-year contract with Villarreal, with an option to extend for a further year. The move marks a return to familiar territory for the 31-year-old, who previously spent several years in Spain with Atlético Madrid before making the switch to the Premier League in 2020.
Wasting no time in settling in, Partey joined his new teammates for training less than 24 hours after finalizing the deal. His swift integration into the squad highlights his eagerness to hit the ground running as he looks to make an immediate impact at the Estadio de la Cerámica.
The midfielder is expected to bring a wealth of experience and solidity to Villarreal’s midfield as the club aims for a strong campaign in La Liga and European competitions.
