Premier League star 'arrested in 2019 over attack on his girlfriend after she called the police'

Police arrested a Premier League footballer described as being 'tipped for international honours' on suspicion of domestic abuse, according to reports.

The arrest took place back in 2019 after the player's girlfriend rang the authorities, alleging an attack and claiming she received threatening messages at night.

Police seized the star, who isn't named in reports for legal reasons, at his home. He is no longer in a relationship with his accuser.

The matter was settled out of court after the player employed lawyers, with police satisfied that a 'community resolution' had been found.

The Premier League man reportedly paid a five-figure settlement sum to his ex-girlfriend to bury the matter.
