Former West Ham winger Savio Nsereko has been arrested by police in Thailand for claiming to his family that he was abducted, before then demanding a sum of around £2,500.
The 23-year-old had spent £20,000 on his trip before he allegedly thought about taking the unusual measures to refill his holiday bank account, stated a report by the Bangkok Post.
Having signed with West Ham from Brescia for a sum of £9 million in 2009 (with high expectations), he became an absolute flop at the club, making just one start and failing to score in any of his ten appearances. However, he played an important part in West Ham's win against Manchester City on 1 March 2009 by providing the assist for Jack Collison's 71st minute goal.
After being sold to Fiorentina for an undisclosed fee (with Manuel da Costa going the other way as part of the deal), the Uganda-born attacker has since enjoyed spells at Bologna and 1860 Munich before ending up at German third division side SpVgg Unterhaching, all on loan from Fiorentina after he was unable to break into the first team.
Here is that goal that he assisted in against Manchester City in 2009, scored by Jack Collison. Apologies for the quality of the video.
