West Ham United's Manuel da Costa was held by police investigating an incident in a nightclub in Ilford, east London, on Sunday.

The 24-year-old Portuguese defender was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of sexual assault and common assault.

He was bailed to return to the police station in early December pending further inquiries.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said allegations had been made by a woman in her early 20s at an east London police station.

i just hope some of these women dont end up getting bought off and actually go through with a trail because some footballers do think they are above the law and when their clubs are covering stuff up and buying off victims then it only strengthens the players view that they can do what they like and get away with it.

once some footballers start to get charged and jalied for these sort of things then maybe just maybe their behaviour might change.

and im not saying that in this case manuel is 100% guilty or anything of the sort but there are too many cases of this and too many 'stories' about incidents/footballers that they cant all be made up or false!

TBF I think there are plenty of girls who willingly have sex with footballers and then claim it wasn't consensual afterwards, in order to make a fast buck with a pay off.

i know mate and thats why i said what i did at the end of it but with the amount of claims etc they definitely dont all do it and i doubt im the only one on here has seen them in action. my ex was approached, fairly aggressively, by a footballer and he didnt take no kindly but luckily enough im not a small lad and either are my mates so that ended that one and i know of a lot worse stories then that where the footballers dont come out of it well!

I know, I didn't quite finish reading your post before writing that, obviously not all footballers are innocent, however when you see some of the girls on the town these days (and I'm only 25 ffs), a fair few are solely motivated by money and I'm sure would not be above doing this sort of thing to swindle some money out of a "rich" footballer.

That's not to say of course that all of these claims are false, but it is easy to see how footballers could be targeted for this sort of thing.
