Spurs support Udogie after alleged gun threat

After confirming that the Italian defender was allegedly threatened with a gun by a football agent, Tottenham say they are supporting him.

An unnamed Premier League player was reportedly targeted in London on September 6 according to BBC Sport’s report on Monday.

During the incident, another man is alleged to have threatened and blackmailed him. No reported wounds.

A 31-year-old man was detained on suspicion of attempting to drive without a license, blackmailing, and possessing firearms with intent on September 8th, according to the Metropolitan Police, who are looking into the case. While inquiries are ongoing, he has been placed on hold.

Spurs stated in a statement on Tuesday that they have been and will continue to do so in the wake of the incident. We are unable to comment further because this is a legal issue.

The 22-year-old Udogie moved from Udinese for £15 million on a five-year deal in the summer of 2022, before immediately resuming his Serie A career on a season-long loan.

He made 76 appearances for Tottenham since his arrival at the club in the years 2023-2004.
