Tottenham Hotspur star Destiny Udogie revealed as footballer allegedly threatened at gunpoint by an agent | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur star Destiny Udogie is the player allegedly threatened at gunpoint by a football agent last month, according to the Guardian.

The Italian international was out with a friend on the night of September 6 when the incident happened in London.

Tottenham have provided him with much-needed support after the incident.

There is no suggestion that the agent involved is his, and he has not been charged with any offence after being bailed.

The police arrested a 31-year-old on suspicion of possession of firearms with intent, blackmail and driving without a licence after they were called.

The suspect was also investigated for allegedly blackmailing and making threats against Udogie’s friend.

It has been claimed that the row escalated after he chose not to use the agent’s services.

The agent represents a couple of stars, including an England international, and he was arrested two days after the incident when police swooped on his Hertfordshire home.

He was given bail on September 9 with the condition that he did not contact the Tottenham defender, while he has been banned from visiting the club’s training ground.

The left-back has featured in ten games across all competitions for Tottenham this season. He made 36 appearances last term and helped the club win the Europa League.

Udogie joined Spurs from Hellas Verona in 2022, spending the 2022-23 season on loan with Udinese before moving to London in the summer of 2023.

He featured in 30 games in his debut campaign and was nominated for the Premier League Young Player of the Season Award.

Udogie was included in the 27-man squad announced by manager Gennaro Gattuso for the October World Cup qualifiers, and he is expected to be invited to the national team this month.
