Ghanaian and former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Teye Partey has officially joined Saudi Pro League side Al Shabab, completing his move to the Middle East and becoming the latest high-profile player to make the switch to Saudi Arabia.
Al Shabab confirmed the signing of the experienced midfielder in an official announcement, bringing an end to speculation over Partey’s next destination.
The 33-year-old midfielder, who has enjoyed a distinguished career in European football both at Arsenal and Athlético Madrid, brings significant experience and leadership to the Saudi club. Partey previously featured for Arsenal, where he established himself as an important figure in midfield after joining from Atlético Madrid.
His move to Al Shabab represents another major chapter in his career and adds his name to the growing list of internationally recognised players now competing in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Shabab will hope Partey’s experience, physical presence and technical quality can strengthen their midfield as they look to compete at the highest level of Saudi football.
His arrival further highlights the Saudi Pro League’s growing appeal as more established international stars continue to make the move to compete there
