Daily Mirror 5 JUL 2022
The Premier League footballer arrested on suspicion of rape in London on Monday morning has been further arrested on suspicion of two further incidents of rape, relating to another woman.
The player, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been released on bail until a date in August.
Several Metropolitan Police units arrived at the international player’s home at about 3am on Monday morning and he was taken to a nearby station.
His club, who are in the early stages of pre-season, are aware of the additional accusations but have not commented.
The player’s initial arrest was in connection with an alleged rape that occurred last month. A woman in her 20s reported it to the police on Sunday. It is alleged that the incident took place in the Mediterranean.

The two additional counts are in relation to a different woman in her 20s and the incidents are alleged to have taken place in April and June of last year.
A Metropolitan Police statement read: “On 4 July, an allegation of rape of a woman in her 20s was reported to police. It was reported the alleged rape happened in June 2022. On 4 July, a 29-year-old man was arrested at an address in Barnet on suspicion of rape and taken into custody.
“While in custody, he was further arrested on suspicion of two incidents of rape that were alleged to have been committed in April and June of 2021 against a different woman in her 20s. He has subsequently been released on bail to a date in August. Enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing.”
The Premier League season gets underway on 5 August and the player had also been expected to represent his country at the World Cup in Qatar this winter.
