Two Premier League players are preparing to come out as gay - which would make them the first British footballers to make the announcement while still playing at the top levels of the game.
One of the men is believed to be an England international star and both have already told their families and friends and have the full support of their respective clubs and the Football Association.
The men will come out publicly before the start of the next season.
'But finally the tide is turning and more and more sports people are openly gay.'
The paper also reports that another famous player came out to friends in 2011 - but shortly afterwards a homophobic slur was painted on his car.
