Blackburn striker DJ Campbell has been arrested as part of a football spot-fixing investigation, his club have confirmed.
The 32-year-old is one of six people detained in an investigation by the National Crime Agency (NCA) after it acted on information passed to it by the Sun on Sunday newspaper.
In a statement, Blackburn said: "Following reports in today's national media, Blackburn Rovers can confirm that striker DJ Campbell has been arrested.
"The club will be making no further comment on what is now an ongoing legal matter."
The tabloid reported that an undercover investigator met former Portsmouth player Sam Sodje, who allegedly said he could arrange for footballers in the Championship to get themselves a yellow card in return for tens of thousands of pounds.
The 34-year-old claimed he could rig Premier League games and even said he was preparing to fix matches at next year's World Cup in Brazil, the newspaper reported.
In today's edition of The Sun, it was reported that Campbell was arrested yesterday, a day after he came on as a substitute against QPR in his team's Championship game.
The newspaper claimed that detectives were likely to review a yellow card he received for a tackle committed in the first half of Blackburn's league game against Ipswich last Tuesday.
London-born Campbell began his professional career at Brentford and went on to play in the Premier League for three clubs - Birmingham, Blackpool and QPR.
He signed for Blackburn in July after previously joining the club on loan from QPR last February.
Detectives from the NCA are still questioning six men.
