Premier League players have taken a bold step in a bid to protect their families while they are on the pitch. According to recent reports, a good number of them are now hiring British security experts to protect their families while they represent their clubs.

Reasons behind their actions

The recent security actions taken by these players is with respect to security issues arising in the country. A good number of reports have been made, with players suggesting burglars break into their home while they are in or away. The most recent case was that of Victor Lindelof while he was with the Manchester United team away at Brentford, Burglars broke his apartment and his wife suggesting they had to lock themselves in a room. Made their way hiding, in what she described as a traumatic experience.

Previous incident

Another recent one was that of Joao Cancelo of Manchester City. Although he’s was slightly different as he was home while the burglars came in. With that in mind, the players are now taking strict measures to protect themselves as they hire former members of SAS group to provide intelligent security services in their absence.

The move by these Premier League players is a welcome development as the issue of security is not one to be taken lightly.
