Spanish football club Villarreal has recruited Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey, the club announces on Thursday evening.
The former Arsenal player is accused of five cases of rape in a legal process that is ongoing in London.
Villarreal's supporter association has previously expressed criticism of the recruitment of the 32-year-old.
My personal opinion is the same as what most supporters express on social media. I do not agree with recruiting a player who is accused of such serious crimes and I would understand if the supporters boo the player, said Cesar Pena, chairman of the supporter association, to The Athletic earlier in the week.
