According to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the 32-year-old has been charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault relating to alleged incidents involving two women between 2021 and 2022.
Partey, who recently departed Arsenal following the expiration of his contract in June, was formally charged just four days after leaving the club.
