A Premier League international footballer has been arrested in North London on suspicion of rape, Telegraph Sport understands.

The player, who is in his late 20s and cannot be named for legal reasons, is currently in custody being quizzed over an alleged attack which is said to have taken place last month.

Scotland Yard confirmed in a statement that the player had been taken into custody in the early hours of Monday. The club has been contacted by Telegraph Sport and is aware the player is being questioned, but it declined to comment.

"On 4 July, an allegation of rape of a woman in her 20s was reported to police," the Met Police said in a statement. "It was reported the alleged rape happened in June 2022."

Police said the man was arrested "at an address in Barnet on suspicion of rape and taken into custody where he remains". "Enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing," officers added.

The player is internationally renowned and it is unclear whether he will now play in his club's pre-season fixture schedule. The Premier League season begins on August 5 and the player is also due to play at the World Cup in Qatar this November.

Bissouma isn't playing at the World Cup.

Yeah I know. I say this because Bissouma was cleared of allegations recently while we were expecting the case to escalate.

Meanwhile...

But I won't jump to conclusions. The timing of that first tweet is scary tho.

That first tweet is a disgrace, sums up everything wrong with football twitter.

Imagine trying to be an "ITK" about a person being raped, while using the ****ing eye emojis like it's a big signing or something.

That guy should be banned.

Apparently the article says the player hasn't started pre-season.

Macho posted the article, it doesn’t say that. It says it’s unclear whether he’s going to play in pre-season for his club.
