AJAX ace Mohamed Ihatteren’s car was torched last night amid fears he is being targeted by gangsters over his new TikTok star wife.
Police in the Dutch city of Utrecht are claimed to have discovered the £73,000 grey Porsche Panamera in flames at around 3am local time.
Local cops are not ruling out arson, according to Dutch paper De Telegraaf.
Police are set to quiz local residents today in case anyone saw what happened.
CCTV footage is also set to be examined.
The incident comes just a week after Ihatteren’s brother, Yassir, saw his own car torched.

Dutch-Moroccan ace Ihatteren, 20, tied the knot with TikTok star Yasmine on Sunday, before discovering his car burnt out less than two days later.
And it’s claimed Ihatteren was the subject of “serious threats to his private life” from criminal gangsters because of his relationship with the social media influencer, which was leaked by her family.
However, it has not been revealed exactly what the threats refer to or are based on.
Ihatteren took to Instagram this morning in an apparent response to his car being torched.

He cryptically wrote: “Jealousy is in the air. Luckily material is easily replaceable.”
De Telegraaf report that Dutch detectives have “observed” known criminals “in the vicinity of Ihattaren and his family”.
While it’s also claimed notorious crooks have been in Ihattaren’s car, which was given to him by Ajax.
Reports suggest Ihattaren is not involved in crime, but he is alleged to know people who are.
Ihatteren is on loan at Ajax from Italian giants Juventus, and was forced to miss the Dutch club’s pre-season tour this summer following allegations he was being “threatened and intimidated”.
The attacking midfielder is back in training, but he has not played a single minute of football for the Dutch champions this season.
Reports suggest security officials have suggested Ihattaren should not appear for Ajax as a result of the alleged threats.
He is due to return to parent club Juventus in January.
