Married Premier League footballer pays transgender model to keep quiet about their two-year fling

A married Premier League footballer allegedly paid off a transgender glamour model so she would keep quiet about their two-year fling, it has been claimed.

The star, who also plays for his national side, is understood to have made a legal bid to silence the woman amid claims she tried to extort cash from him.

He began seeing the blonde model behind his wife’s back but is said to be more concerned about his friends finding out he’s been having an affair with someone who is transgender than he is about his infidelity getting out.

According to Simon Boyle at the Sunday People, the player’s legal team are said to have offered the woman a £7,500 payment to secure her silence and are urging her to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

But she is said to be livid after claiming she received only half of the amount offered.

Now, despite allegedly telling the model he loved her, the footballer and his dumped lover are at loggerheads. He has reportedly accused her of extortion and harassment after she threatened to go public about their relationship.

The transgender model, who has not been named, insists she has never asked for money and is said to be regretting agreeing to the player’s terms.
