Manchester City player Kyle Walker has bought a Doberman guard dog, for £ 40,000 after increased incidences of raids targeting footballers.
Everton’s goalkeeper home was recently raided with men armed with machetes. This came after an incidence of yet another raid in Ancelloti’s home in what is seen as increased cases of raids targeting footballers.
Walker has named his new pal Apollo. Sources indicate that Apollo is still in training, which is almost coming to an end.
The 30 year England International is determined to protect his family despite the cost. Apollo will be trained to respond to certain keywords that only the family knows.
Charged with the responsibility to protect the whole family, Apollo will be carrying perimeter checks both inside and outside, and also guard the front door to the player’s home.
