CELEBRITY fixer who brokered a bar deal between soccer star Ashley Cole and rapper Jay-Z has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Cops bailed Chris Nathaniel, 39, after quizzing him on the stabbing of Danny O'Shea, 18, in East London. Nathaniel quit as a director of Man United ace Rio Ferdinand's youth foundation days before his arrest.

Nathaniel was seized by Murder Squad cops when he landed at Heathrow after a flight from the US.

Franchise ... Jay-ZAP

The entertainment guru — linked with a host of sports idols, showbiz stars and leading politicians — was held with a pal aged 33.

Both were quizzed over the killing of Danny O'Shea, who was stabbed in the neck after being chased by a gang for 300 yards.

The teenager bled to death outside his mum's home in Canning Town, East London.

Police have faced a wall of silence over the murder.

Mob victim ... Danny O'Shea

Nathaniel, head of the NVA Entertainment Group, has been involved in a host of dazzling deals.

Last year he brokered a multi-million pound tie-up between Jay-Z and Chelsea soccer star Ashley Cole to open a London branch of the US rapper's 40/40 restaurant and bar franchise.

He was also the middleman in a seven-figure book deal for Cole's team-mate, England skipper John Terry — and claims to promote the world's fastest athlete Usain Bolt.

He was a director of football ace Rio Ferdinand's Live The Dream Foundation for disadvantaged youngsters until he quit five days before his arrest.

Nathaniel sat in on meetings between anti-knife crime campaigner Ferdinand and ex-PMs Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

He claims to represent footballers including Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia and Birmingham City defender Curtis Davies.

And NVA's website features photos of a number of celebs he is said to have worked with including Jordan and girl group Mis-Teeq.

Nathaniel and his pal were questioned at an East London police station over West Ham fan Danny's murder after their arrest on Monday. They were later freed on bail until March pending further inquiries.

Nine other suspects aged from 22 to 43 have been held and bailed.

Danny was stabbed by a mob on December 2 last year.

His stepdad Jim Blewitt tried in vain to save him by attempting to stem blood flow and giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Detectives yesterday repeated an appeal for witnesses to come forward.

Several people were seen getting out of a white Ford Transit minibus on the night of the killing, clambering back inside it later. The vehicle bore red and blue lettering and the words "self-drive hire". Although Danny's attackers were black, according to police, his mum Julie insisted the killing was not racially motivated.

She said Danny "was a popular boy with friends from all cultural backgrounds".

Nathaniel, whose business is based in London's Canary Wharf, seems keen on posting cryptic messages on social networking websites. The day before his arrest, he wrote: "Dnt surrender dnt give in persevere no matter how difficult ur life is with perseverance u will get thru anything!"

He also gushed with enthusiasm over the 40/40 London project when it was announced.

He said: "We have done some exciting deals and worked with some world class names but this collaboration of Ashley Cole and Jay-Z has to be one of the most exciting and it makes the nine months of negotiations worth it."

Anyone with information on Danny's murder should call police on 020 8345 3734 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

I rated this guy though.

He seemed to be making moves for himself. He had a few vid blogs going for a bit.

Defo sounds like a JE ting.

The tone/attitude of the writer of the story is straight cuntish. About Nathaniel "claims" he promotes this star & "claims" to represent that star.

Wwether he innocent until proven guilty and or if he's protesting any involvement on the situation...the fact he's decided to resign and leave his ppost wether he was urged to or not his making look like he as done something wrong

God knows if he was involved he personally needs to fall from his golden tower he built up for being just plain stupid

Why with his background and success would he desrroy it strange if he is guilty
