Tottenham say they are providing support for player
Agent bailed after alleged incident on London street
Destiny Udogie has been named as the Premier League footballer who was allegedly threatened at gunpoint by an agent on a north London street. The Tottenham defender was out with a friend on the night of Saturday 6 September when the alleged incident occurred.
Police were called and the agent was detained on suspicion of brandishing the weapon with intent to cause fear of violence. The suspect was also investigated for allegedly blackmailing and making threats against Udogie’s friend. He has not been charged with any offence. There is no suggestion that the agent concerned is Udogie’s agent.
The alleged incident happened during the September international break, when Udogie was not involved with Italy. He has not taken any time out from the game and was back in action for Spurs in their next fixture – the league win at West Ham on 13 September, when he came on as a substitute.
