BBC Sport reported on Monday that an unnamed Premier League player was targeted in London on 6 September. Another man is said to have been blackmailed and thre@tened by the same individual during the incident. No injuries were reported.

Udogie, 22, joined Tottenham from Udinese for £15m on a five-year deal in the summer of 2022 before immediately returning to the Serie A club on a season-long loan. He returned to Spurs for the 2023-24 season and has made 76 appearances for the club.
This season, Udogie has featured 10 times, including in Tuesday night’s 4-0 Champions League victory over Copenhagen.
