Earlier this week news broke that an England footballer was being blackmailed for £30,000 after bedding a transgender prostitute. Everyone’s wondering who the mystery footballer is, and I’ve taken a very serious look at the top 9 suspects. Here’s a rundown of the most likely candidates in no particular order…

Jack Grealish

Jack Grealish is a babe magnet constantly linked to Instagram models and Love Island hotties. He was even seen in a leaked NSFW photo with a woman (not trans) last year. If you’re Jack Grealish and you’ve had sex with thousands of women you inevitably want to try something new – so why not a chick with a dick? Also been suspect for Man City this year, so he could be our guy.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Just because you wear women’s clothing, doesn’t mean you enjoy sex with transgender escorts, does it? Then again, maybe it does? I don’t know, but it wouldn’t be the most shocking thing in the world if DCL was our mystery man. Certainly had a very underwhelming season in front of goal, which is one of the clues that was originally offered. 

Dele Alli

Dele Alli is the #1 name doing the rounds. He has been doing some unconventional things with his hair lately, but I’m not sure that’s related to (alleged) use of transgender escorts. I’m only really including him because his name is being bandied about the most on social media, plus he hasn’t been in good form this season.

Ashley Cole

No one considered the identity of the footballer could be Ashley Cole, mainly because the suggestion is the footballer is currently active. The reason we’re throwing his hat into the mix? This comment on our Facebook page…

If John Jack Boone says it’s a fact, then it’s a fact. As another commenter pointed out, it’s possible he was even there himself…

Big if true.

Marcus Rashford

No name is more synonymous with ‘loss of form’ than Marcus Rashford this season. I know he’s got a lot on his mind with the extracurricular charity work, government-bashing and general abuse he receives from fans, but could a £30,000 blackmail plot also be bogging him down?

Kyle Walker

Kyle Walker’s love for prostitutes is no secret. He even had them round his house during quarantine, which sounds like a sweet way to pass the pandemic, except it was against the rules and all. He does seem like a guy who would mix things up a bit in the bedroom too. Could very easily be him.

John Stones

You know who else has stones? Pre-op transgender women.

Wayne Rooney

Is the trans lady in question an OAP? Crucial bit of info if we’re going to implicate Wayne Rooney in all this. I don’t think he would make the same mistake again TBH, especially after the backlash and fallout last time. Pretty confident we can rule out Wayne Rooney.

Gareth Southgate

Plot twist – the manager. What better way to unwind after a long, hard training session and the stresses of being England manager than by settling down with a pricey escort – trans or otherwise. Well there are probably a few better ways to unwind to be fair, but as they say it’s always the ones you least suspect, and no one suspects the manager, do they?

So after that, not really any closer to knowing the identity of the footballer being blackmailed by a transgender escort, but certainly some food for thought there. It’s just a shame that a sex worker would pull a stunt like this, but even more so that it’s such a big deal that the footballer wants to keep their identity hidden. Although you understand it obviously; especially if they’ve got a wife and kids or girlfriend at home. Is there anyone obvious we’re missing out? Let us know.
