Premier League footballer Nathaniel Clyne has called in police after a sex tape of him was leaked online.

The Liverpool right-back, 25, was caught on camera having sex with a woman while a friend was in the room.

Clyne reportedly fears his reputation will be destroyed by the tape even though he has done nothing wrong and was single at the time.

Merseyside police said they are investigating after receiving a complaint from Clyne's representatives.

Clyne, who played for England against Slovakia in the European Championships, is said to be shocked by the footage taken at his luxury apartment in 2014.

A source told the Sun: 'It's been difficult for Nathaniel.

'He was horrified anyone would set out to stitch him up like this.

'He felt it was a deliberate effort to ruin his good name and reputation.

'His agents felt he had to go to the police when it became apparent he was being smeared.
