Robinho held over 'sex assault'
Robinho said he was "happy to co-operate with police"
Manchester City forward Robinho has been arrested by police investigating an allegation of sexual assault.
The Brazilian international, 24, met police as part of a "criminal investigation" into the alleged attack at a nightclub in Leeds.
Robinho "strenuously denied any allegation of wrongdoing" and had been released on bail, his spokesman said.
West Yorkshire Police said a man had been arrested on Tuesday in connection with an alleged incident on 14 January.
Robinho's spokesman, Chris Nathaniel, said: "[Robinho] strenuously denies any allegation of wrongdoing or criminality and is happy to co-operate with the police if further required."
Robinho, whose full name is Robson de Souza, joined Manchester City from Spanish giants Real Madrid in September for 32.5 million pounds, making him Britain's most expensive player.
