Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta defends the way the club handled the situation with Thomas Partey

Transcript

00:00We've talked a bit about new signings today, but one player who's obviously not with Arsenal anymore is Thomas Partey.

00:05He's now facing some very serious criminal charges.

00:09Can I ask for your reaction to that?

00:12Obviously, he's not an Arsenal player.

00:14Was the prospect or possibility of those charges a factor in the decision not to renew his contract?

00:20Well, I think the club was very clear in its statement.

00:24There are a lot of legal matters that are very complicated, so I cannot comment on any of that.

00:30I appreciate that, but a lot of fans have questions over the way in which the matter was handled by the club.

00:36Do you feel confident and comfortable that the club followed all the right processes in that?

00:42100 per cent, yeah.
