Cherries defender Steve Cook is thought to have been arrested along with a group of Brighton players - on suspicion of sexually assaulting a woman in the East Sussex town last July.

20 year old Cook joined Bournemouth from the Seagulls earlier this month after a loan spell.

A club statement says an unnamed player is helping police with their enquiries.

The other five men are aged between 18 and 24 and all from Brighton.
