A PREMIER League star was threatened with a gun in the street in a terrifying late-night incident — with a top footie agent arrested.
The £60million-rated ace, in his 20s, was targeted while walking with a pal on a busy London street.
Police were called at 11.14pm on September 6.
An agent, 31, who represents stars including an England international, was detained last month on suspicion of brandishing the firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
The suspect is also under investigation for allegedly blackmailing and making threats against the footballer’s pal.
He has not yet been charged with any offence.

The star, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and his pal escaped unharmed.
Police swooped on the agent’s £2million Hertfordshire home two days later.
He was given bail on September 9 with the condition he did not contact the ace.
A source said: “This was a terrifying incident and one which has sent shockwaves through the business side of football.
“The player was understandably shaken up — to have threats made against you with a gun is shocking.
“He reported it right away. It was the right thing to do for his safety.
“He has been supported by his friends and club and they all hope it will not impact his performances.
“But there will be serious questions about why this happened, which the police are now trying to answer.”
Officers also imposed a ban on the agent travelling to the player’s club training ground.
He was also unable to go abroad until a bail variation was agreed by a judge at a magistrates’ court last month.
It is understood the man requested his passport back to leave the UK on pre-booked trips.
He must return it to police when he comes back next month.
The Met confirmed it was investigating.
