A spokeswoman for West Yorkshire Police said today: "West Yorkshire Police yesterday morning arrested two men, a 24-year-old man in Surrey and a 26-year-old man in London in connection with an alleged serious sexual assault.

"The alleged incident happened sometime ago but only recently came to light during an on-going West Yorkshire Police investigation into a separate matter.

"The men are being questioned in West Yorkshire," the spokeswoman added.

Earlier this month the former Chelsea star was quizzed by detectives investigating an allegation that a 20-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in the Leeds area.

He was detained at the team's training ground at Thorp Arch, near Wetherby in Yorkshire. A second man, not thought to be a footballer, was also arrested. Both were later released. Leeds United were unavailable for comment today.
