As rumours quickly spread amongst the football world earlier this week that Gylfi Sigurdsson had been arrested for texting in a sexual nature underage girls, his wife has come forward to deny any such claims and state the player is not behind bars or been arrested.
As no evidence has come forward despite thousands of tweets being published on social media by football fans claiming to be “In the know”, it’s reported to be another case of a vile attack on football players by using the social media channel.
As previously reported, thousands of tweets started to circulate on Saturday evening that the star player had been arrested after allegedly being caught texting underage girls.
Some tweets claimed that that he had been rumbled by Paedophile hunters, although there was actually no footage appeared to be presented or forthcoming.
YouTube presenters were also very quick to jump on the story – which that got a lot of attention before it was judged to be unfounded, completely made up and total fabrication, until this latest development emerged on Monday night.
“Imagine what he and his wife are having to go through,” said Swansea City supporter Dai Thomas.
He went onto add: “Twitter has to be controlled far better, and these types of tweets need to stop; they are vile and disgusting.
“I met the player and his wife on several occasions when he played for us; they were delightful people, they don’t deserve this.”
Although YouTube football presenter Adam Brown, like others who went and made videos on the subject and presented them, still feels that something is afoot despite the wife’s denials.
Brown said: “Simple question, why is it the wife and not the player or his agent making the denial?”
He continued: “That to me smells alone; something is afoot here.”
