He will meet police in the coming days to deny the claims.

A source said: “Antony is adamant he has done nothing wrong and wants to sit down with officers and let them ask him questions.

“He has nothing to hide and will hand over anything they want to see including his mobile phone.

“He wants to be exonerated as quickly as possible so he can get on with his football career again without any distractions.”

The £85m winger is accused by former lover Gabriella Cavallin of attacking her on January 15 in a Manchester hotel.

Antony denies any wrongdoing and gave a tearful TV interview in which he said: “I know the truth and it will come out.

“I’m 100 per cent sure I never touched a woman and I’ll come up with the evidence.

“I’m sure I’ve never committed physical violence.”
