Dele Alli Sends Tweet To Fans After Being Held At Knifepoint In Burglary

Tottenham ace Dele Alli was robbed at knifepoint after burglars broke into his house, while police have confirmed that his brother and their girlfriends were assaulted during the robbery.

“Two males gained entry to the property and stole items of jewellery, including watches, before fleeing,” a police statement read. ‘’Two male occupants at the property suffered minor facial injuries after being assaulted. They did not require hospital treatment.”

The 24-year-old took to Twitter on Wednesday night to reassure his fans and thanked them for their messages of support.
Alli describes it as a ‘horrible experience’ and noted that he’ll no doubt look to step up his security at his home moving forward in order to avoid a repeat of what he and those close to him had to go through this week.

Thank you for all the messages. Horrible experience but we’re all okay now. Appreciate the support.

This is perhaps something that the club and the police will look into and step up security for all the players if there are signs of a pattern emerging.
