Grant receives death threats

20 February 2008 - 13:58

Chelsea manager Avram Grant has received death threats from an unknown source as a suspect package arrived at Chelsea's training ground in Cobham this morning.

  • Mauricio Pochettino confirms fresh injury blow for Chelsea star
  • Arsenal want to make four marquee signings this summer

  • A police source confirmed that the note to Grant, 52, included the words: "You are a back-stabbing Jewish b******. When you open this letter you will die a very slow and painful death."



    Death threats of a sexual nature were also made to Grant's wife, Tzofit, a well-known television personality in the couple's native Israel.



    A spokesman for Surrey Police said: "We were called to Chelsea's training ground at Cobham at 12.15pm yesterday after they received a suspicious package.



    "A white powder contained within the package was analysed by specialists from Surrey Fire Service and was determined to be a harmless substance.



    "Detectives are continuing investigations to identify the source of the package."
