Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey has signed with Saudi Pro League club Al-Shabab on a one-year deal, making the move from Spanish side Villarreal where he played 32 matches in the 2025/26 season. Partey left Arsenal after 167 appearances from 2020 to 2025 to join Villarreal. The 33-year-old's transfer to Saudi Arabia is part of Al-Shabab's efforts to bolster its midfield ahead of a challenging season in the Saudi Pro League.
Partey had previously had a successful tenure at Atlético Madrid. He was accused of lying about his criminal record during an incident at the 2022 World Cup, but still managed to play in Ghana's remaining matches as they were eliminated by Colombia in the last 32.
