Neighbours of the Leicester City forward told The Sun that Musa was picked up by plain-clothed police officers.

After being questioned, he was released without charge.

“A 24-year-old man was arrested yesterday morning at his home address near Leicester on suspicion of common assault,” said a spokesperson for Leicestershire police.

A neighbour told The Sun that, “Ahmed is a nice guy. He always has a friendly smile. I don’t know anything about his private life”.
