The English Premier League (EPL) player who was threatened by a football agent with a gun turned out to be Tottenham's side defender Destiny Udogi. U Do-ki is a player who worked together on the left side of Son Heung-min's Tottenham days.
Global media The Athletic reported on the 5th (Korea time) "Tottenham Hotspur are providing support at the club level after Destiny Udogi was found to be a Premier League player who was reportedly threatened with a gun by a football agent in September."
Earlier, media reported that a Premier League player was threatened with a gun in September. Police in London arrested a 31-year-old man over the incident.
Later, Italian media Tutomercato reported that the victim was Destiny Udogi. When this story came out, the Tottenham club made an official position.
"We have been providing support to Destiny Udo and his family since the incident and will continue to help in the future," Tottenham said "Please understand that it is difficult to comment further as the legal process is currently under way."
The 22-year-old Italian international Udogi moved to Tottenham from Udinese, Italy, in 2022. Ending his loan spell, he made his official debut for Tottenham in August 2023 and has become a key defender for the team under Enze Postecoglou.
So far, he has played in 75 games for Tottenham, scoring two goals and four assists, and is also a member of the UEFA Europa League last season. U Do-ki played as a substitute against West Ham in the English Premier League (EPL) on September 14, a week after the incident.
In connection with the incident, the London Police received a report that the same person was suspected of intimidating and blackmailing another man in his 20s during an interview with the victim"There were no physical injuries in either case."
The police also said that the 31-year-old man was arrested on charges of possessing and using a firearm, threatening to use it, and driving without a license. He is currently out on bail, and the investigation is ongoing.
