Manchester City forward Robinho has been arrested by police investigating an allegation of sexual assault.

The Brazilian international, 24, met police as part of a "criminal investigation" into the alleged attack at a nightclub in Leeds.

Robinho's spokesman, Chris Nathaniel, said the player "strenuously denied any allegation of wrongdoing".

West Yorkshire Police said a man had been arrested on Tuesday in connection with an alleged incident on 14 January.

Mr Nathaniel said Robinho had met police, as pre-arranged, as part of the criminal investigation and was later released on bail.

"He strenuously denies any allegation of wrongdoing or criminality and is happy to co-operate with the police if further required," he said.

Robinho, whose full name is Robson de Souza, joined Manchester City from Spanish giants Real Madrid in September for £32.5 million, making him Britain's most expensive player.
