Fulham defender Issa Diop has been released without charge after being accused of making death threats towards his partner.

Diop spent time in police custody in after , according to regional newspaper .

The 26-year-old was accused of repeatedly threatening his 29-year-old partner, while the pair are currently going through proceedings.

It’s understood that the woman filed a complaint with French authorities last week but investigators had to wait to arrest Diop as he has been living in London.

However, a spokesman for Toulouse prosecutors provided an update on Monday afternoon and said: ‘The suspect has been released. There is no case to answer.’

Fulham signed Diop in a £15 million deal from West Ham last summer.

The French defender quickly established himself as a regular for Marco Silva’s side last season, making 29 appearances in all competitions.

After news of his arrest, Fulham released the following statement: ‘We are aware of reports emanating from France this morning regarding one of our players, Issa Diop.

‘We are currently liaising with the player’s representatives to establish the facts.’
