The BBC revealed on Monday that a Premier League player was threatened with a gun by his agent on the street. As the incident unfolded, the identity of the player became known to the outside world. He was the 22-year-old Italian left-back Udoji who plays for Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham has promised to continue to provide support to Udoji and his family. As the case involves legal proceedings, the club is temporarily unable to make further comments.

The Metropolitan Police received a report at 23:14 on September 6 that a man in his twenties was threatened with a gun in the Cuckforest neighborhood of Barnet, North London. "Scotland Yard" added in the statement: "After the police officers talked with the victim, they received a report during the investigation stage that another man in his twenties was also blackmailed and threatened by the same suspect. No one was injured in both incidents. The police arrested him on September 8 on suspicion of holding a A 31-year-old man was arrested on charges of shooting with intent to injure, extortion and driving without a license. The man has been released on bail and the investigation is continuing. "

The Sun, which first disclosed the identity of the player involved, revealed that Udoji was "obviously frightened." It is reported that the agent involved has provided agency services for a number of Premier League players. Due to legal reasons, the name of the agent cannot be made public for the time being. He is being questioned by police on suspicion of racketeering, driving without a license and gun-related offences. Another young man who was threatened in the case is believed to be a relative of Udoji.

Facing the threat, Uduoji did not compromise, but chose to directly take up legal weapons. According to sources: "He immediately called the police. This was the right decision for his own safety. He has received support from friends and the club, and everyone hopes that his performance will not be affected."

On October 10, Udoji transferred the agency matter to Nigerian agent Emeka Obasi, who owns Saka, Gittens, Lavia, Iwobi, Sancho and other well-known stars, and has extensive influence in London and England. Before that, Udoji was a client of Italian agent Stefano Antonelli, but Antonelli was born in 1964 and obviously did not meet the age of the suspect disclosed by the police. According to the team information on the official website of Antonelli's agency "Football Service", Luigi Vera, who was born on October 30, 1993, highly matches the age characteristics of the suspect. Vera graduated from the Law School of the University of Ferrara, and his graduation thesis was titled "Athlete Labor Contracts within the Italian Football Association System." With his understanding of the legal mechanisms in the Italian sports field, Vera joined the sports agency industry and has agent qualifications certified by the Italian Olympic Committee and the Italian Football Association. He is "committed to accompany the growth of young players and effectively guide them from the youth team to the professional field. He is committed to laying the foundation for the future of football rookies."
