Former Arsenal player Partey to plead not guilty to 2 new rape charges

AI Summary
Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey, now playing for Villarreal, intends to plead not guilty to two new rape charges in a London court. The charges stem from allegations by a different woman, claiming he raped her twice in December 2020. These new allegations surfaced after the initial charges against Partey were publicized. The 32-year-old is already awaiting trial on five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault related to incidents between 2021 and 2022. Partey's lawyer indicated his intent to plead not guilty, and the next court date is set for April 10. He was initially charged last July, shortly after leaving Arsenal, and signed with Villarreal in August after being granted bail.
