‘He was taken to a north London police station where he currently remains.’

Eboue has been out of professional football for two years, although he played in an Arsenal Legends game last month.

He told French TV in February that he was desperate to get back into the game and also opened up about loneliness amid strained family relationships.

Speaking to Canal, he said: ‘All I want is to return to football once more. I still possess ability.

‘I would even go to places like Baghdad or Pakistan just to play football. I don’t care where.

‘I live with my bags already packed, as there is a chance I could be kicked out of my house.

‘I don’t have anyone by my side nowadays. I feel abandoned. I used to get on well with my children and my family, and now I am completely alone.’
