Spurs look to end fan dispute

(GSM) – Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur are looking to reach an “amicable end” to a dispute between defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto and a supporter.

The left-back was caught up in an incident involving a fan following the 1-0 defeat to Wolves at White Hart Lane.

Spurs assistant boss Joe Jordan had to restrain the 25-year-old, while police later confirmed that they were investigating an allegation of assault.

The club are looking to deal with the matter in-house though, and confirmed a meeting between the player and supporter would take place later in the week.

A statement from the club read: “The club take the conduct of our supporters and players – and the relationship between them – very seriously.

“We understand the supporter has now withdrawn the complaint and that he and Benoit are due to speak this week to bring an amicable end to the matter.”

The FA are also considering whether to take action against the Cameroonian after reviewing referee Stuart Atwell’s report.
