Ashley Cole's 'mistress' linked to another married footballer

London, February 20 (ANI): The football secretary named at the centre of Ashley Cole's sex scandal has now been linked to another wedded footballer, it has emerged.

Vicki Gough was apparently caught dating Blackburn Rovers striker El-Hadji Diouf, who has a wife and young daughter.

The 30-year-old Liverpool FC beauty and the 29-year-old Senegalese frontman were pictured in the back of a taxi together, the Daily Star reported.

They were also seen at Liverpool's trendy San Carlo restaurant.

Vicki was also linked to a third Premier League player in her previous job at Birmingham City, according to sources.

Liverpool chiefs were said to have had a discussion over Vicki's fate, who could be sacked if bosses decided her actions have had a negative effect on the club. (ANI)
