Thomas Partey left Arsenal earlier this summer and he is now ready to return to La Liga with Villarreal. The 32-year-old, who was recently accused of five counts of rape after a police investigation that spanned three years, closes a move to La Ceramica.
Villarreal continues to build their team prior to a return to the Champions League, which finished fifth in La Liga last season. Central Midfield is an area that needs to be tackled, given that Dani Parejo is now 36, while Santi Comesana and Pape Gueye have struggled with consistency.
And Pedey is the man who wants to strengthen their options in the middle of the park. According to Diario AS, the Ghana International has been reached an agreement to sign a one -year contract, which expects him next week.
Pareny likes to return to Spanish football, where he spent earlier with Atletico Madrid for a number of years, and he is about to get his wish. However, there is a chance that the agreement could be taken, because the midfielder will appear on the Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday as part of the current lawsuit accused him of rape.
The Parey deal is for one season, but there will be opportunities to stay further in Villarreal further next summer. If he impresses head coach Marcelino Garcia Toral, he would get the chance to stay in Vila-Real for a longer period.
So far it has been a very busy summer transfer window for Villarreal, who has already signed Albert Moleiro, Rafa Marin, Tajon Buchanan and Santiago Mourino. And at this stage Parey looks like the next player who makes the switch to La Ceramica.
