Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker has expressed anger and disgust at online trolls who falsely linked him with the making of a sickening pornographic video.

The 24-year-old footballer has instructed his lawyers to investigate the explicit video after it was widely circulated on social media.

The footage, which featured a woman, a dog and a bed, falsely alleged that Walker was the filmmaker.

Writing on his official Facebook page, he said he was "disgusted" by suggestions that he was responsible for the clip.

He said he felt compelled to dispel rumours that had been spread by Twitter trolls in the wake of the video's release.

He said: "I wasn't going to comment on the rumours going around about myself and my family but as people are still talking about them, I feel I need to set the record straight.

"I am aware of a video being shared on social media and am disgusted by the suggestion that it's anything to do with us.

"With so many young people on social media I am horrified that content of that nature has been shared so many times."

He added: "My legal team are monitoring the activity surrounding this."

Walker was forced to miss his team's 2-2 draw against Southampton yesterday while he recovered from an abdominal injury.
