The Telegraph reported on Monday that an 'internationally renowned' footballer in his last 20s had been arrested in London and taken into custody over an alleged attack, which is said to have taken place in June.
The player, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested at an address in Barnet on Monday.
The Premier League star has been bailed until August after spending around 30 hours in custody being quizzed over three alleged attacks, per The Telegraph's latest update.
