AFP, LONDON: Allegations of historical sex abuse have been made involving all five London clubs in the Premier League, the capital city’s Metropolitan Police Service announced on Monday.
The five clubs swept up in the scandal that has rocked English football since former Crewe Alexandra youth player Andy Woodward went public in November last year are Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace and West Ham.
Some of the claims go as far back as the 1960s. The Met’s figures mean the number of Premier League clubs who have been connected with the investigation has risen by one from last month when the global English figure given out by the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) said there were four.
