“On the evening of the 14th of September 2021 when I was playing for my club in the return of the Champions League, a group of cowardly robbers broke into my house. They managed to collectively lift a heavy safe containing some personal items of mine into their car,” he wrote.

There was no jewellery in his safe but James said the stolen items also included his 2021 Super Cup medal.

James appealed to fans to help him identify and turn in “these low-life individuals.”
