The professional footballer who was arrested in July 2021 on suspicion of multiple child sex offences has had his case referred to the Crown Prosecution Service.
CPS will now determine whether or not to bring a criminal prosecution against the player. The player cannot be named until he is charged. There is no timescale on any decision.
The player was suspended by his club shortly after his arrest and has been on bail since that point.
A CPS spokesperson said: “We received a file of evidence from Greater Manchester Police on 31 January 2023 following an investigation into allegations of multiple sexual offences. We are considering this material in line with our legal test.”
CPS must now decide whether or not there would be a realistic prospect of convicting the player and if pursuing a criminal prosecution would be in the public interest. Crown prosecutors will run the case through a threshold test. This must be passed before they proceed with any case.

I hope so Everton were a club with big ambitions when Moshiri first came in as owner, but they need to get back to being a boring midtable team again. I think Dyche did a miraculous job to keep them up after signing no players in January!Cheers fella, Everton have somehow managed to escape so many times, Would you see Dyche as a long term fix?
