Tottenham's Destiny Udogie experienced a car break-in during a match, with thieves smashing his vehicle. This incident follows a prior threat where Udogie was allegedly held at gunpoint by an agent. The agent was arrested but later released on bail pending further investigation into charges including firearm possession with intent and blackmail. The club is providing support to the player.

Udogie is having a difficult season at Tottenham, for many reasons. He has fallen out of favour under current boss Thomas Frank, and the left-back has been the victim of a number of shocking incidents. In September, Udogie allegedly had a gun pointed at him by an agent, who was later arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm with the intent to cause fear of violence. The accused was also under investigation over allegations of blackmail and making threats towards the Italian's friend. However, he has not been charged with any offence. At the time, the police's statement said: "Police were called at 23.14hrs on Saturday, 6 September, to reports a man in his 20s had been threatened with a firearm. Officers spoke to the victim and during the course of their investigation, it was also reported another man in his 20s had also allegedly been blackmailed and threatened by the same individual. No injuries were reported in either incident. A 31-year-old man was arrested on Monday, 8 September on suspicion of possession of firearms with intent, blackmail and driving without a licence. He has been bailed while enquiries continue." Head coach Frank also expressed his sympathy to the Tottenham player, saying it was a "terrible situation". He added: "It is a terrible situation to have been in and I can't speak too much about it as it's a legal case, as we know, but the club and we have done everything we can to support him. We'll do that and he's clearly doing well on the pitch, which is good and we'll keep supporting him."
