A Premier League player was allegedly threatened with a gun by a football agent before being detained.

On September 6, London targeted the footballer who was in his 20s.

The player, who cannot be identified legally, has been described as having to deal with the incident.

The player’s club is aware of the incident.

During the incident, another man is alleged to have threatened and blackmailed him.

In either incident, no serious injuries were reported.

Following a report of a man being threatened with a firearm, police were called at 23:14 BST.

On suspicion of driving without a license, attempting to infiltrate a home with a weapon, and attempting to do so on foot, the accused, 31, was detained on September 8th.

While the inquiries continue, he has been placed on hold.
