There’s something really going on in the dressing room between Arteta and Partey that everybody is afraid to talk, I’m revealing it now because His departure really hurts ME”, William Saliba reveals the real SAGA behind Thomas Partey sudden departure as He send Emotional farewell message to the Ghanaian superstar

An emotionally charged press conference that has caused shockwaves within the Arsenal community, William Saliba has spoken out for the first time regarding the sudden and unexpected exit of Thomas Partey from the club. The French defender, visibly emotional, disclosed that there has been an unspoken tension behind closed doors — one that many in the squad were “afraid to talk about.”

Partey’s departure, which was announced abruptly last week, shocked both fans and players, with no official explanation beyond “mutual consent.” However, today Saliba chose to speak about what he called a deeply personal and painful saga that impacted not only the Ghanaian midfielder but also the harmony inside the dressing room.

> “I have to be honest today,” Saliba began. “There’s something really going on in the dressing room between Mikel (Arteta) and Thomas that nobody wanted to speak about. Maybe out of fear, maybe out of respect for the badge, but it wasn’t right. His departure hurts me personally because Thomas wasn’t just a teammate — he was a big brother to many of us.”

Saliba declined to provide explicit details about the nature of the conflict but suggested a prolonged misunderstanding and a sequence of disagreements over team roles and dressing room dynamics that gradually pushed Partey to the edge of Arteta’s plans.

> “It was painful seeing him unhappy in training sometimes,” Saliba admitted. “He deserved better after everything he gave to this club. I just hope one day the truth comes out fully, for his sake.”

Before concluding the press conference, Saliba offered a heartfelt farewell to Partey, showing gratitude for his mentorship and leadership within the squad.

> “Thomas, if you’re watching this, I want you to know you’ll always be my brother. You taught me so much about the game, about character, and about fighting when nobody believes in you. We’ll miss you more than words can say.”

The disclosure has sparked intense debate among Arsenal fans and analysts, with many now demanding transparency from the club regarding what truly caused the Ghanaian star’s sudden departure after five seasons at the Emirates.

Neither Mikel Arteta nor the club’s board had responded to Saliba’s remarks at the time of publication, but the dressing room atmosphere at Arsenal is now under close observation, with concerns growing about internal conflicts as the n

ew season nears.
