A football agent has been arrested after allegedly threatening a Premier League footballer with a gun.

The footballer, in his 20s, was targeted in London on 6 September.

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

The player's club are aware of the incident.

Another man is also alleged to have been blackmailed and threatened by the same individual during the incident in question

Feels like football is going backwards
 
This is going to give football agents a bad reputation.
 
Pfft, I knew this already. Look at all those transfer announcement photos.
 
If it hadn't been in September I'd of put money on it being Gibbs-White over the Spurs move.
 
Does it specify that it is his agent or just an agent? Aren’t there often loads of these parasites surrounding one deal?
It specifies the agent arrested is 31 and represents an England international, not necessarily that the bloke arrested was the £60m man's agent
