The player's wife and two young children were at their home in Hampstead when four men wearing hoods broke in shortly before 8 p.m. as the Spurs' game against RB Leipzig in Germany began.

Vertonghen was an unused substitute in the Spurs' 3-0 defeat in their last 16 games, which saw them come out of the competition 4-0 in total. We supported Vertonghen and his family during this awfully painful time," said a Spurs spokesperson.

"We encourage anyone with information to come forward to assist the police in their investigation."

Officers were present. It was reported that four men wearing hoods, armed with knives, broke into the property and stole several items before leaving.

No one was injured. The suspects had left before the police arrived. There have been no arrests and investigations are continuing. Vertonghen became the last footballer to be targeted by criminals.

In December, Crystal Palace defender Mamadou Sakho, 29, was away with his family before his team's match with Southampton when looters broke into his house in south-west London. They would have lost valuables worth more than £ 500,000 (2.25 million dirhams) during the raid.

Two Arsenal Players Sead Kolasinac and Mesut Ozil were attacked by a car thief who attempted to steal luxury pair watches in Hampstead. CCTV camera footage showed Kolasinac careering two covered attackers in July, one of whom was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Liverpool striker Sadio Mane's home was robbed in the Champions League shock match against Bayern Munich at Anfield last February.

A long line of Liverpool players who have been targeted by thieves over the years Mane was the latest one, including Roberto Firmino, Robbie Keane, Jermaine Pennant, Lucas Leiva, Daniel Agger, Steven Gerrard, Dejan Lovren, Dirk Kuyt, Pepe Reina, Jerzy Dudek, and Peter Crouch, twice.
