Philadelphia police are investigating Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor after a woman alleged he sexually assaulted her at a strip club Thursday afternoon, USA TODAY Sports confirmed.

A 27-year-old dancer at the club reported to police she had been sexually assaulted inside the establishment, Philadelphia police said in a statement. Two other Eagles players were at the South Philly club near the team’s training facility at the time of the alleged incident, Philadelphia magazine reported on Friday.

"We are aware of the police investigation involving Nelson Agholor,” Eagles spokesperson Derek Boyko said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports. “The organization has been in contact with Nelson and with the proper authorities in Philadelphia. Because of the legal nature of this matter, we will have no further comment."

In a response to a USA TODAY Sports' request for comment, the Philadelphia police responded in an email that the department's "special victims unit is actively investigating this incident."

Attorney Fortunato Perri Jr., who is representing Agholor, told the Associated Press: "Nelson has not been involved in any criminal conduct whatsoever."

Agholor, 23, was drafted in the first round by the Eagles in 2015 (20th overall) and had 23 catches for 283 yards last season.
