ClaretandHugh Exclusive

Twitter reports that a well known West Ham United footballer had been involved in an incident which involved a police presence at around 1 am this morning have drawn a response from Essex Police.

Pictures of the player (shown above) emerged on Twitter soon afterwards but police later made it clear that no arrests had been made or charges laid.

A statement from Essex police given exclusively to ClaretandHugh read: “Police were called to High Road, in Loughton, shortly before 1am on Sunday July 26 following reports that a man and a woman had been involved in a verbal dispute.

Officers attended and spoke to both parties. No complaints were made and no further police action is being taken.”

A Hammers insider told us: “The player was out in company and started receiving a lot of abuse from a passers-by. The police were called and checked that he was okay.

“They then decided the best course of action on his behalf as to drive him home – there is no problem.”
