TOTTENHAM summer signing Yves Bissouma has been cleared of sexual assault allegations.
Bissouma, 25, was arrested outside a Brighton nightclub on October 6 while he was contracted to the Seagulls.
Another man in his 40s was arrested along with Bissouma and is still under investigation – but no further action will be taken with Bissouma.
A spokesperson from Sussex Police told the Daily Mail: "A man in his 40s from Brighton who was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault has had his conditional bail extended until July 4, 2022.
"A man in his 20s, also from Brighton, who was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault has been released with no further action to be taken.
"The investigation is ongoing and no additional information is available at this time."
Bissouma previously had his bail conditions amended so he could take part in the Africa Cup of Nations with Mali.
But he did spend a night in custody following his arrest in Brighton in the early hours.
Shocked revellers told how they saw Bissouma being marched out of a packed nightclub in handcuffs by police officers.
An insider said: “The club was packed — it was a popular student night, especially with freshers in town.
