Ibe robbed at knife-point in London

London - Reports have emerged suggesting Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe was the victim of a robbery in London earlier in November after his car was rammed by thieves.

The assailants reportedly made off with Ibe's watch, which the Sun are reporting was a Rolex worth in the region of £25 000.

Scotland Yard are said to be investigating the incident, which reportedly took place near Surrey Quays Underground station.

"One of the suspects threatened the victim with a knife before stealing his watch. The victim was not injured," a Met Police statement read.

"At this early stage, officers are investigating whether the suspects intentionally collided with the victim's car."

The incident has come to light just four days after Andy Carroll was reportedly held up at gun point on his way home from training.

The West Ham striker was stopped by two motorcyclists, who gestured they were armed, as he drove towards his home in Essex, east of London.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
