Tottenham Hotspur said they are supporting Destiny Udogie after the Italian left back was allegedly threatened with a firearm by a man in London in a bizarre incident that has rocked the Premier League club.

British media said a soccer agent was arrested on Monday after threatening a Premier League player with a gun. At the time, Udogie could not legally be identified.

The Metropolitan Police had confirmed they had been called to a street in North London at 2314 local time on September 6 after reports a man in his 20s had been threatened with a firearm.

"We have been providing support for Destiny and his family since the incident and will continue to do so. Given this is a legal matter, we cannot comment any further," a Spurs spokesperson said on Wednesday.
