New England captain Rio Ferdinand is facing lurid claims that he romped with an Israeli model.
According to reports, Tslil Sela is trying to sell a story about an alleged relationship she had with the star while he was in Israel, reports The Daily Star.
Sela, 22, who lives in Tel Aviv with her parents, is reportedly using an agent to help sell her claims.
However, Rio's official spokesman has blasted the claim saying: "Rio says it's not true."
Rio visited Israel for his stag week last year before marrying long-term love Rebecca Ellison.
