Faye, who now plays for Rangers, was listed as one of the individuals in the infamous 'Panorama' BBC TV programme, including Sam Allardyce and Kevin Bond.
Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has insisted the City of London Police investigation into corruption in football - which led to his arrest - does not "directly concern" him.
Redknapp was one of five men, also including Pompey chief executive Peter Storrie, to be arrested by detectives from the anti-corruption unit on Wednesday.
Leicester chairman Milan Mandaric, formerly in the same role at Portsmouth, Rangers midfielder Amdy Faye and agent Willie McKay were also arrested, it was widely reported on Wednesday night.
City of London Police interviewed the men, after arresting them on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting.
Up to 60 officers were involved in searches at eight addresses at locations across the UK - including Redknapp's luxury home in Poole, Dorset.
A City of London Police spokeswoman said: "Five men have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting as part of an ongoing investigation into football corruption."
