A Tottenham Hotspur spokesperson said: “We have been providing support for Destiny and his family since the incident and will continue to do so.

Tottenham say they are supporting Destiny Udogie after confirming the Italy defender was allegedly threatened with a gun by a football agent.

The incident has been described as a "horrendous" ordeal for the player - who cannot be legally identified - to deal with.

After the final whistle on Saturday evening, Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence snubbed Frank for a handshake and stormed down the tunnel at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Now, Vicario has seemingly blamed the supporters in the stadium for not getting behind the team and contributing to a difficult atmosphere for the defeat against Chelsea.

Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven got back in favour with Thomas Frank as the defender's stunning solo goal stole the show in a 4-0 rout of Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Frank, ever the diplomat, played down the incident, but confirmed the duo had since said sorry.

The London derby between Spurs and Chelsea will be played at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium for the first time since late 2024. One of the most attractive matches of the 10th match week of the Premier League is Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. Spurs and Chelsea are separated by three points in the Premier League.

Tottenham are back on the Champions League stage tonight as they host FC Copenhagen at the halfway stage of this season's League Phase.

It is hard to think of a better goal ever scored by a central defender.
