Jadon Sancho's secret love life may have been betrayed by one the assets he thought he could trust the most - his mobile phone.
The Chelsea star has set tongues wagging after it emerged American rapper Saweetie has pride of place as his phone's lock screen photograph.
Sancho was celebrating Chelsea's Europa Conference League final win on Wednesday night and held his phone aloft as he made merry with Trevoh Chalobah.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted the picture of Saweetie on his phone and the speculation about his love life has now gone viral.
Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that the duo shared a hug at Stamford Bridge earlier this season.
'Jason Sancho and Saweetie dating rumours? Could this say get any better? Literally my 2 favs,' wrote one rather excited fan on X.

And it's THIS picture of American rapper Saweetie
Fans are now speculating that they are dating after they also hugged earlier this season
However, astute internet sleuths have pointed out she is not following him on Instagram
'Bro knew exactly what he was doing holding the phone in front of thousands of cameras like that,' said another on Instagram.
'I love thatttt,' another said.
But some fans brought a cynical eye to the table and suggested Sancho is just a distant admirer.
'She doesn't even follow him back,' one pointed out.
'Maybe he is just a fan?' another said.
Regardless of his status off it, Sancho did himself every favour on Wednesday night as he struck a stunning goal during Chelsea's 4-1 win over Betis.
The winger came off the bench and found the top corner with a curling strike as the Blues completed the set of European trophies.
Enzo Maresca's side won't ever want to be in the Conference League again but lifting the trophy and finishing fourth marks a successful campaign.
Saweetie has 12.4 million followers on the social media app - more than Sancho's 10.3 million
Next season, they will attack the Champions League as they look to get back among Europe's elite.
Chelsea have been absent from Europe's premier competition for the last two seasons but were champions as recently as 2021 under Thomas Tuchel.
It is still unclear where Sancho will end up.
His loan to Chelsea included a condition that obliges the Blues to sign him permanently for £25million after finishing higher than 14th in the Premier League.
However, Chelsea can renege on that if they pay a £5m penalty.
Asked about Sancho's future, Blues boss Enzo Maresca said: 'I don't know. I said that when in the last weeks you asked me about different players, I always said the same. And the reason why is because it's the truth.
'It's not the moment, we have the final. Then in 24 hours, 48 hours, we're going to start to talk about the future. But at this moment, there is not any thought or any decision made on Jadon or any different players.'
