Tottenham Hotspur of England defender, Destiny Udogie has been cited at the centre of a gun threat in public by an agent who felt he had been humiliated by the Nigerian-born Italian international.

The agent felt humiliated and apparently took the law into his own hands, as he damned the consequences of his action and allegedly brandished a hand gun in full public glare.
Udogie, who joined Spurs in 2022, was reportedly targeted by the aggrieved agent while walking with a friend on a busy north London street at the beginning of September.
The agent was arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm with an intent of violence and is also under investigation over allegations of making threats towards Udogie’s friend.
He has not been charged with any offence and was granted bail on September 9 but must not contact Udogie or visit Spurs’ training ground.
A statement by London’s Metropolitan Police added: “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, September 8 on suspicion of possession of firearms with intent, blackmail and driving without a licence. He has been bailed while inquiries continue.”
