No idea, but he should not be named until/if he is charged,

He's being named all over social media.

Honestly just Google it if you are interested. His name is trending everywhere.

The player has not yet been officially named.
No guesses, speculation, hints or clues on here please.

He can be and is being named on Facebook but not allowed on PH. Funny old world sometimes.

[MYOB]

I accept he can’t be named but surely we can speculate?

[mickk]

If you have any social media you'll know who it is.

^ you'll know who has been accused with little to no evidence at all other than some bloke on twitter creating a post and taking a guess which has then been used as the basis of fact on Facebook.

Yep same as any breaking news

When Yves Bissouma was arrested at a nightclub on suspicion of sexual assault, he was named in the papers including photos of the arrest and the video was doing the rounds.

In this current incident, the "29 year old Premier League and international player" is arrested for rape and the papers have not published his name or pictures.

Now, I get that rape is a more serious allegation than sexual assault, and I get that Bissouma was at a nightclub not a private address, but why are the two incidents not treated equally from a reporting perspective? Bissouma was never charged with anything yet had his name was splashed all over the media.

Lawyers were quicker?

Nobody knows a thing, yet the lynch mob on navel-gazing central want 'whoever it is' to rot in jail already.
