Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey

Credible reports of the expected arrival of Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi have fueled Thomas Partey’s rumoured exit from Arsenal this summer.

News broke in the United Kingdom (UK) media on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, that Arsenal is close to agreeing on a deal with Real Sociedad for the signing of Zubimendi.

The reports further state that Zubimendi has already agreed to personal terms with Arsenal and that the Gunners are in talks with his club to reach an agreement.

The impending arrival of Zubimendi has fueled rumors of Thomas Partey’s exit, as the Spaniard plays in the same position as the Ghanaian.

With six months left on his contract, Arsenal is currently not involved in any negotiations with Thomas Partey over the extension of his deal.

The Daily Mail reported last week that Arsenal are not open to renewing Partey’s contract and will allow the Ghanaian midfielder to leave.

Speaking on Partey and Jorginho’s contract situation on January 3, Mikel Arteta said that a decision will be made at the right time.

“Well, that is a possibility when that situation is in the contract. It’s close communication with them to understand as well what the idea is, what they want to do, and our intentions, and then decide what the best option for everybody is. But it’s two players I am very, very happy with, and they are such a value in the squad.

“When I want to give them the right mind frame because it’s the most important part of the season,” he said.

In the 2023/2024 season, Thomas Partey has played 30 matches for Arsenal across all competitions.

He has scored two goals and made two assists.

See deadline for UG’s random bed allocation for Level 100 students

0

The University of Ghana (UG) has announced the continuation of its Open Random Bed Allocation system for the 2024/2025 academic year.

This initiative, which was implemented in the 2023/2024 academic year, aims to ensure transparency and equity in the allocation of accommodation to newly admitted Level 100 students.

In a notice issued by the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Academic and Student Affairs), Professor Gordon A. Awandare, fresh undergraduate students are encouraged to participate in the process by opting into the system after completing their academic registration.

“Fresh students interested in participating in the random bed assignment must opt in after completing their academic registration. Use this link https://sts.ug.edu.gh/ to access the STS portal and opt-in,” the notice stated.

Students seeking accommodation are advised to finalise their academic registration by Friday, January 17, 2025. The deadline to express interest in the random bed allocation system is Saturday, January 18, 2025, at 9 am. The allocation exercise itself will be conducted on the same day at noon.

Transparency and accountability

The University emphasised that the allocation process would be conducted openly to ensure transparency.

Professor Awandare reiterated the institution’s zero-tolerance policy towards illegal practices involving accommodation. “Under no circumstances should any student or parent/guardian pay money to anyone for a bed. This is illegal, and both the buyer and seller will face sanctions according to university regulations,” he warned.

Additionally, the notice stressed that “perching,” or unauthorised residence in campus accommodation, is strictly prohibited. Students found guilty of this practice will face disciplinary actions.
Accommodation challenges

The Pro Vice-Chancellor acknowledged the ongoing challenges with on-campus accommodation but reassured students of efforts to expand residential facilities. He, however, cautioned that accommodation is not guaranteed with admission, urging students who are unsuccessful in securing a place on campus to make alternative arrangements.

The University said it remained committed to providing fair and transparent systems for its students, ensuring equitable access to its resources.

For further enquiries, students and stakeholders can contact the Pro Vice-Chancellor’s office via email at [email protected] or [email protected].

Eyewitnesses at the scene recounted that the argument, which started as a verbal exchange, quickly escalated into a violent confrontation. In a fit of rage, the suspect reportedly grabbed a wheel spanner from his vehicle and struck his colleague, leading to fatal injuries.

The victim, whose identity has been confirmed but withheld pending notification of family, was rushed to a nearby medical facility but was pronounced dead upon arrival. The motive behind the disagreement remains unclear, but authorities believe it may have stemmed from a work-related dispute.

Tyson Fury announces retirement from boxing again

0

London, Jan 15, (PA Media/dpa/GNA) – Tyson Fury has claimed he has retired from boxing in a video post on social media.

The 36-year-old former world heavyweight champion, lost his second fight with current title holder Oleksandr Usyk last month in Saudi Arabia.

Fury said in a cryptic video message posted on Instagram: “Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet.

“I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been a blast. I’ve loved every single minute of it and I’m going to end with this: ‘Dick Turpin wore a mask’.

“God bless everybody, see you on the other side.”

Fury had said he had no intention of retiring after a unanimous points defeat to Usyk in December, his second loss to the Ukrainian, who beat the Briton by split decision at the same Riyadh venue the previous May.

Boxing fans had been hoping Fury would finally fight fellow Briton, Anthony Joshua, this year.

Fury, previously announced his intention to quit the sport after he had retained his WBC belt, by stopping Dillian Whyte at Wembley in 2022.

The ‘Gypsy King’ said at the time: “I’ve been in this game 20 years, I’m 34 in a few months.

“I said the third (Deontay) Wilder fight would be my last, but I felt I owed the fans one last homecoming. This is definitely the end of the Gypsy King and I went out with a bang.”

Fury returned to fight Derek Chisora the following December and in October 2023 defeated French MMA fighter Francis Ngannou, the latter bout his last win before facing Usyk.
