Here’s what the statement that has been released by police says:

On July 4, an allegation of rape of a woman in her 20s was reported to police.

It was reported the alleged rape happened in June 2022.

The 29 year old 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.

The man is a Premier League footballer and was due to take place in this year’s World Cup in Qatar in November.

Wow. That’s a lot of info there isn’t it so you can realistically work out who it’s going to be and most people seem to be gravitating towards Thomas Partey. He’s 29 years old, plays for Arsenal and is going to the World Cup with Ghana in November and someone wrote this tweet on Monday morning before any of this news broke:

Can’t really say much but I’m sure it’ll be in the press by lunch time

OK, so I’m not gonna say that you should believe everything on Twitter and that the footballer in question is definitely Thomas Partey, but in the past whenever anything like this has happened the noise on Twitter does tend to gravitate towards whoever ends up being the culprit. Happened with Benjamin Mendy, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Mason Greenwood, so it looks like Partey could be the guy. Keep an eye out for more updates.

For more of the same, check out this guy who got a £1 million fine and a seven year jail sentence for pirating Premier League matches. Seems a bit much.
