Tottenham Hotspur defender Destiny Udogie has been the victim of a car vandalism attack, with his £150,000 Range Rover damaged after the team's loss to West Ham United. The 23-year-old shared a video on Snapchat showing the back window of his vehicle smashed to pieces, with glass scattered across the boot.
The incident occurred shortly after Tottenham's defeat to their London rivals, a match in which Udogie was an unused substitute. Reports suggest he returned to his car to find it had been broken into. This is the second unsettling event for the Italian this season, having allegedly been threatened with a gun in Barnet in September.
Speaking to The Athletic about the earlier incident, Udogie said: 'Yeah, of course. It was not something I’d wish on anyone. It was a shock. But it’s OK, now we look forward.' He praised the club for their support, adding: 'The club showed me good support and was next to me every day. I’m really grateful to them for what they have done and for keeping me and my family safe.'
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou commented on the situation: 'It is a terrible situation to have been in. I can’t speak too much about it as it’s a legal case, as we know, but the club and we have done everything we can to support him.'
Udogie joined Spurs from Udinese in August 2022 for an initial £15 million and has since made 81 appearances. He signed a new contract in December 2023, running until 2030.
