Chelsea forward Callum Hudson-Odoi said on Saturday police have confirmed they will take no further action over a rape allegation.
The 19-year-old was arrested on May 17 following an argument with a woman, the Sun newspaper had reported.
"I have stayed silent and assisted the police fully throughout their enquiries, as I knew the day would soon come when my name would be cleared," Hudson-Odoi wrote on Twitter.
"Following a full and thorough investigation, the police have now confirmed they will take no further action."
Metropolitan Police said in a statement: "A man arrested on Sunday, May 17 following an allegation of rape has been released with no further action."
Chelsea have made no comment on the incident.
