Thomas Partey arrives in Saudi Arabia ahead of Al Shabab transfer
Ghanaian Midfielder Touches Down in Riyadh
Thomas Teye Partey has arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, ahead of a potential transfer to Al-Shabab. The Ghanaian midfielder, who has made 25 appearances for Villarreal across all competitions, is set to join the Saudi Pro League side on a one-year contract.
Experience and Familiarity with Al-Shabab
Partey's move to Al-Shabab will reunite him with former teammate Yannick Carrasco, who has been with the club for the past three seasons. Before joining Villarreal, Partey spent several seasons at Arsenal, making 130 appearances and scoring nine goals.
A New Chapter for Partey
The move will give Partey another opportunity to continue his career at the highest level, according to YEN.com.gh. The Ghanaian midfielder's next chapter could have major implications for the Black Stars, particularly with Ghana's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign approaching.
Fitness and Club Football Crucial for Ghana
Partey's fitness and regular club football could prove crucial to the team's ambitions, especially with qualifiers scheduled to begin in September. The deputy captain was one of Ghana's key players at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, featuring three times as the Black Stars reached the Round of 32.
A Move Beyond Another Club Switch
His proposed move to Al-Shabab represents more than another club switch for Partey. It could provide the experienced midfielder with the platform he needs to remain an important figure for both club and country.
Preparing for the Next Chapter
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Thomas Partey is stepping up his fitness in Turkey as he prepares for a potential move after becoming a free agent. The Ghanaian midfielder's recent training sessions show he is getting ready for the next chapter of his career.
The Way Forward
Partey's next move is expected to be confirmed after a mandatory medical examination in Riyadh. A successful assessment is expected to pave the way for him to sign a one-year contract with Al-Shabab.
