An individual has been arrested for causing "criminal damage" to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier in the week, the north London club have confirmed.

The stadium, which opened in 2019, was targeted on Monday night and damage could reportedly run into six figures.

"We can confirm that an individual was arrested for criminal damage following an incident that took place on Monday night," Spurs said in a statement on Saturday.

Tottenham have strong ties with the Jewish community, but the club added that there was evidence linking the vandalism with anti-semitism.

"There is no indication that this incident is linked to anti-Semitism," they said.
