TA: Villarreal has signed Thomas and signed a contract for 2 years; it was announced soon

August 7 TheAthletic reported that Villarreal has officially signed former Arsenal midfielder Thomas.

The 32-year-old Ghana international signed a two-year contract with La Liga club, including a first-year fixed contract and a 12-month renewal option. The official announcement is expected to be announced immediately. Thomas will join in a free transfer form, and his contract with Arsenal has not been renewed after it expires in June this year. According to TheAthletic, the deal was finalized after the player completed a physical examination, and Villarreal's qualification for the Champions League was seen as a key factor in attracting his joining.

It is worth noting that Thomas was charged on July 4 with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault, but he denied all charges. The investigation into him began in February 2022 and he continued to play for Arsenal until the contract expires. Thomas was granted conditional bail after appearing in Westminster District Court on Tuesday, and under the terms of the bail, he must report to the police 24 hours before international travel.
