An England and Premier League star has been sent packing from his family home by his wife after splashing out £55,000 on an escort he had fallen in love with, according to reports.
The Sun claims the unnamed player sent messages to the woman and received 'smutty' pictures in return. The report claims the England player spent £35,000 in seven months so he could see her whenever possible. He is also said to have forked out £20,000 on presents, which included nights at hotels and a necklace worth £2,500.
The report does not specify whether the player is a member of Gareth Southgate's current squad. It does, however, claim he had previously been caught with prostitutes and had promised to change his ways. He is alleged to have gone back on his word when he became infatuated with a blonde escort, to whom he paid vast sums of money.
