A former Premier League footballer has revealed the toll on his family after the alleged theft of nearly half a million pounds' worth of jewellery by a cleaner - and vowed to sue the cleaning company.

Benik Afobe, 30, who plays in the United Arab Emirates with Hatta FC, last week accused the cleaner of stealing £400,000-worth of valuables from his family residence.

The ex-Bournemouth and Wolves striker claimed the alleged incident took place at his mum's Elstree home on the morning of Wednesday, June 14, before taking to social media to attempt to find the cleaner, posting several appeals for public aid.
