BREAKING NEWS: All FIVE London Premier League clubs are caught up in historic child abuse allegations

All five of London's Premier League clubs and three teams in the Championship are now caught up in hundreds of historic sexual abuse claims.

In what is quickly becoming the biggest scandal in the history of British football, 77 clubs from the top flight to non-league are now being investigated by police.

There have now been 255 allegations made since former Crewe Alexandra player Andy Woodward lifted the lid on the murky world of abuse in football by opening up about being abused by ex-coach Barry Bennell.

It is understood that Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham, Tottenham and Crystal Palace are being investigated by the Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command.
