It comes after several raids at the homes of several other high-profile footballers in recent months.
Last month Jack Grealish’s terrified family hit panic buttons as a gang of burglars looted his new home.
His loved ones, including partner Sasha Attwood, were forced to take cover as cops rushed to the £5.6million home to avoid a potential hostage situation.
The robbers made off with £1million worth of jewellery and watches, while Grealish’s family were left “really shaken” in the horror.

Earlier that month, West Ham star Kurt Zouma’s family home in Essex was targeted while he was inside.
The robbers also stole jewellery and high-end watches worth £1million – with Zouma forced to miss his team’s game against Crystal Palace.
Sources said the gang, who are still being hunted by cops, were “aggressive and organised”.
A number of other players have also been targeted including Joao Cancelo and Paul Pogba.
In December last year, Raheem Sterling was forced to fly back from the Qatar World Cup after raiders struck at his Surrey home.
Terrified fiancée Paige Milian, 27, was at home at the time with their two kids.
She raised the alarm when the gang took watches worth £300,000.
Many of the stars have been targeted by “away day” looters who will strike when teams travel for their games.
This was true for ex-Man Utd star Jesse Lingard, who was robbed as he played for the Red Devils away at Aston Villa in January 2022.
His former teammate Victor Lindelof’s home in Hale was raided the same month while he was in action for Utd in Brentford.
The defender’s wife Maja Lindelof and their two children were forced to lock themselves away while their mansion was ransacked.
A Northumbria Police spokesperson said: “Shortly before 7.30pm yesterday police received a call from a concerned homeowner who reported that three men were inside their home in Darras Hall.
“Thankfully the homeowner was not home but had received a security alert on their phone and immediately reported concerns to police.
