Durham Police said a 27-year-old had been arrested on suspicion of
sexual activity with a girl under 16. An officer later said he had been
bailed.
Sunderland AFC said he had been suspended pending the outcome of the police investigation.
News of the arrest of a Premier League footballer was revealed earlier in The Sun newspaper.
The Sunderland-born winger joined Middlesbrough's youth
academy and made his senior debut at the age of 17, in a 2005 Uefa Cup
game.
He was loaned out to Leeds United then Watford, returned to Middlesbrough and then in 2010 made a £7m move to Manchester City.
