Shocking news.

Strong rumours of who the player may be but obviously need to wait and see who it is and if there is any substance to the allegations.

At least the player won't be scoring any freekicks against my team.

An Everton Premier League footballer has been arrested on suspicion of child sex offences and suspended by the club.

The player, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested last week by Greater Manchester Police and released on bail pending further enquiries.

The Sun reported police had raided the player’s home earlier this month.

In a statement, Greater Manchester Police said: “Officers arrested a 31-year-old man on Friday 16 July 2021 on suspicion of child sex offences.

A spokesman for the club said: “The club can confirm it has suspended a first-team player pending a police investigation. The club will continue to support the authorities with their inquiries and will not be making any further statement at this time.”

The northwest-England team did not identify the player or any details about the police case.

Everton players are in pre-season training.

The team opens its Premier League campaign against Southampton on August 14.
