The 21-year-old West Ham defender and England under-21 player was arrested when he attended a London police station on Thursday.
Police confirmed a “man in his 20s” was held on suspicion of assault following trouble outside a nightclub in Ilford, early on 2 October.
Up to 15 people had been involved in the disturbance outside the club in Cranbrook Road.
“A subsequent allegation of assault was reported to police and a man in his 20s attended an east London police station on 12 October, and has been arrested on suspicion of assault,” the police spokesman added.
