A South Korean court sentenced the woman to four years in jail and her male accomplice to two years for extorting the Los Angeles FC goalscorer.

Our correspondent in Seoul, Jake Kwon, has been following the story.

I think many of our listeners probably remember him as the former captain of Tottenham.

And what we are learning today is that the South Korean court has sentenced the woman to four years in prison for essentially blackmailing the football star.
