Former Premier League footballer Joey Barton has been visited by police regarding comments he made on social media.
As reported by BBC, Cheshire Police stated they received reports of potential offenses under the Communications Act.
It said officers had made "multiple attempts" to arrange a voluntary interview with a 41-year-old man originally from Liverpool.
Mr. Barton said he understood the visits were over "something I've tweeted".
He told the BBC he had "no clue" which specific posts formed part of the police enquiry.
In his post on X, Mr. Barton mentioned that two officers arrived at his door at 21:30 BST on Thursday while his children were in bed.
He indicated that he provided his solicitor's contact details to the officers and that his solicitor attempted to reach a sergeant at the force without success.
Mr. Barton added, "Either it’s a shambles or an attempt to intimidate me and my family."
A spokesperson for Cheshire Police commented, "To date, we have not had any response from his legal representatives and we await further contact."
Moreover, Mr. Barton has faced criticism lately for making negative comments about female footballers and pundits.
While, sports minister of UK, Stuart Andrew called his remarks "dangerous" and said they could lead to more abuse.
Later on January, Mr. Barton insulted Aluko and another female pundit, Lucy Ward, by comparing them to a notorious serial killer couple.
