3rd November 2025 – (London) A prominent football agent has been apprehended by authorities following allegations involving firearm threats against a Premier League footballer. The incident reportedly occurred in the Barnet area of north London during September, according to a statement issued by the Metropolitan Police on Monday.
The agent, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was taken into custody on suspicion of multiple offences including blackmail, driving without a valid licence, and firearms violations. The individual, aged in his thirties and known for representing several top-tier professional players, has since been released on bail pending further investigation.
Police were initially dispatched to Cockfosters Parade in Barnet on the evening of 6th September following reports that a man in his twenties had been threatened with a firearm. During their subsequent investigation, authorities discovered that a second individual, believed to be related to the footballer, had also allegedly been subjected to blackmail and threats from the same suspect.
No physical injuries were reported in connection with either incident. The investigation remains active as officers continue their enquiries into the circumstances surrounding the alleged threats and the firearm offence.
