Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli suffered horrific moments on Wednesday night. Two men broke into Ali’s home in north London and attacked him and his party with a knife.
In addition to Alli himself, there were four other people in his house: Alli’s girlfriend, Alli’s brother and girlfriend, and Alli’s friend.
The robbers attacked two men, one of whom was Dele Alli, who was said to have received a blow to the face. Both sustained facial injuries but survived without hospitalization.
– Thank you for all your messages. Horrible experience but we are all fine now. I appreciate your support, Alli writes on Twitter.
Thieves reportedly stole watches and jewelry from the England international’s home.
The 24-year-old Ali’s home had CCTV cameras and the police had access to the video material. No one has been arrested yet.
Two months ago, Ally’s teammate, Jan Vertonghen, had a similar knife stolen in his home, which is also in north London. The Belgium midfielder was on a game trip in Germany but his family was at home.
According to the Daily Mail, many football stars have been robbed in recent years. Former Chelsea star Frank Lampard, Crystal Palace defender Mamadou Sakho, Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino and former Manchester United midfielder Angel Di Maria have been robbed at home.
