Mikel Arteta defended himself and the entire club regarding how the Thomas Partey situation was handled. The midfielder had long been linked to allegations of assault, until he was ultimately found guilty this summer.

Despite the rumors and media reports, the Ghanaian player continued to play successfully for Arsenal, and there were no questions within the club. Before the season preparation began, M. Arteta was asked if the club acted according to the rules.

The long-time Arsenal strategist said at a press conference: "The club laid everything out very clearly in its statement."

There are many legal matters that are very complicated, so I can't comment much on that...

But yes, Arsenal acted correctly in this situation 100 percent," M. Arteta stated confidently.
