Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma was recently attacked and mugged outside a luxury hotel in France.
The incident occurred as the Mali international and his wife arrived at the five-star Majestic Barriere hotel in Cannes last weekend.
According to a report from The Sun, two hooded assailants ambushed Bissouma as he exited his car around 4 am on Sunday.
The attackers sprayed tear gas in his face and stole his £260,000 watch. The couple, left in shock, tried to seek refuge inside the hotel but found the doors locked. The assailants swiftly fled the scene.
Bissouma and his wife had planned to spend several days at the French resort but returned to England later that Sunday after the incident.
