A spokesperson for the Met Police has said: “Met officers are investigating following a number of reports of alleged sexual offences between 2021 and 2023. A man in his 30s was arrested in July 2022. He has since been interviewed by police on two further occasions while under caution. The investigation remains ongoing and detectives are continuing with in-depth and detailed enquiries. Those who have come forward to police continue to receive support from Met officers.”
The Premier League player was initially arrested following an allegation of rape in June 2022. While in custody, two further incidents of rape – from April and June 2021 – led to another arrest. No further action has been taken regarding the incident in June 2021, but the footballer was taken into custody again in February 2023 on suspicion of carrying out another sexual offence in February 2022.
