Spurs player apologises after filming himself appearing to commit crime as club launches investigation

A Tottenham Hotspur star has apologised after the club launched an investigation into footage that appears to show him committing a crime.

On Saturday Spurs lost 3-2 to Bayern Munich in their final pre-season friendly of the summer, as Harry Kane made his first return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since leaving last year.

Ange Postecoglou will be hoping his side can kick on from an encouraging first season under his leadership, but he was dealt a blow after Saturday's match.

Midfielder Yves Bissouma, who impressed under Postecoglou last season, decided to hit the town after Saturday's game.

Inexplicably, the 27-year-old decided to film himself inhaling nitrous oxide from a balloon while sat in the back of a limousine and shared it on his Snapchat account.

The star could face a police probe, as possession of laughing gas - dubbed 'hippy crack' - was made illegal late last year.

Under the Conservative government's Anti-Social Behaviour Action Plan, nitrous oxide became a Class C drug controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.

Use of nitrous oxide can lead to brain disorders, depression, memory loss, incontinence, hallucinations and nerve damage.

Repeat serious users face up to two years in prison and dealers up to 14 years. If prosecuted and found guilty, Bissouma could face an unlimited fine.

Tottenham have launched their own investigation into the matter. When approached for comment by The Sun, a club spokesperson said that the incident "will be dealt with as an internal matter."

On Sunday Bissouma released a statement apologising for his actions, admitting that he showed a "severe lack of judgement."

"I want to apologise for these videos," Bissouma said.

"This was a severe lack of judgment. I understand how serious this is and the health risks involved, and I also take my responsibility as a footballer and role model very seriously."

Bissouma joined Spurs from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2022 for a fee that could rise to £35 million.

Tottenham will kick off their 2024-25 Premier League campaign with a trip to Leicester City on Monday, August 19.

SPORTbible has contacted Tottenham Hotspur for comment.
