Tottenham are investigating midfielder Yves Bissouma after he uploaded a video on social media of him inhaling laughing gas.
The 27-year-old was in possession of nitrous oxide – the use of which has been a criminal offence since 2023.
Spurs say they are looking into the incident, and the Mali international has since apologised for his actions.
He said: “I want to apologise for these videos. This was a severe lack of judgment.
“I understand how serious this is and the health risks involved, and I also take my responsibility as a footballer and role model very seriously.”
Possession of nitrous oxide can land you up to two years in prison and is known to have damaging effects on the brain.
