Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has completed a move to Saudi Pro League club Al Shabab, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano. The Ghana international traveled to Saudi Arabia yesterday to finalise the terms of his transfer.

Partey departs Arsenal after several seasons with the North London club, with his switch to Al Shabab being a free transfer. The move sees the experienced midfielder embark on a new chapter in his career in the Middle East, joining the growing roster of international players in the Saudi Pro League.

His departure marks a significant development for Arsenal's squad planning, as the club will now look to adapt without the Ghanaian's presence in midfield. Further details regarding the transfer are expected to emerge, but Romano confirms the deal is done.
