Former Premier League footballer Dickson Etuhu will fight a bribery charge brought against him in Sweden.
Nigeria international Etuhu, who played for Manchester City and Fulham during his time in England, ended his playing career in Sweden and has since become a player agent.
The 36-year-old has been charged after an 18-month investigation into match-fixing in Sweden.
Etuhu has been accused of offering a bribe to former AIK Stockholm team-mate Kenny Stamatopoulos to fix a match against Gothenburg in 2017.
That game was cancelled after authorities in Sweden became aware of the allegations.
Another former player - Alban Jusufi - has also been charged.
Etuhu's lawyer Johan Akermark told Fotbollskanalen: "He has not offered any bribe and he does not know anything about any bribe.
"He had a snack with the AIK goalkeeper, they knew each other and used to meet for lunch.
"He has an explanation of what happened and we will present it during the trial."
