Initially arrested on suspicion of rape, he was rearrested while in custody over two more allegations dating back to April and June 2021.
However, police confirmed no further action would be taken regarding the June 2021 incident due to a technicality.
Despite this, the investigation deepened, with the player being questioned again in November 2022.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson stated as per The Guardian, “A full file has been passed to the CPS, and detectives continue to work with prosecutors.
“Those who have come forward continue to receive support from Met officers.”
