Premier League footballer who was arrested on suspicion of rape is being investigated for a third sex offense.
The player, whose name is unknown, was arrested in 2008 barnetnorth Londonon July 4 last year for allegations of rape against a woman in her twenties in June.
He was further arrested while in custody on charges of raping another woman in April and June 2021.
In a statement last July, the metropolitan police said “no further action” would be taken in relation to the June 2021 breach because the relevant legislation was not yet in place at the time it allegedly occurred.
However, on Thursday, police said the man had been interviewed under caution last month for a sex crime alleged to have taken place in Barnet in February 2022.
In a statement, Met police said: “This relates to a third victim and was reported to police in July 2022.”
The 29-year-old denies the allegations.
His bail has been extended, police added.
