Leicester City footballer Ahmed Musa has been arrested on suspicion of attacking his wife.
The Nigerian striker, 24, who cost the Premier League club a record fee of £16.6million, was quizzed by police at his £850,000 five-bedroom home in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire.
Officers swooped at his home on Tuesday night in response to a domestic abuse complaint, just hours after his side's 2-0 win over Sunderland.
When they found no one in they made inquiries with surprised neighbours.
The former CSKA Moscow forward was finally arrested at 1am yesterday, by two plain-clothed policewomen, after he returned home.
A spokesman for Leicestershire Police said: 'A 24-year-old man was arrested yesterday morning at his home address near Leicester on suspicion of common assault.'
A neighbour told The Sun: 'Ahmed is a nice guy. He always has a friendly smile. I don't know anything about his private life.'
Musa was not part of the 18-man squad which beat Sunderland at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday.
