Premier League footballer Jordon Ibe was robbed at knifepoint after thieves rammed his car in south-east London.
The AFC Bournemouth midfielder, 20, had his watch – worth a reported £25,000 – stolen after armed raiders ploughed into his car in Surrey Quays.
Four men who were inside the vehicle threatened Ibe with a knife before taking off his watch, the Sun reported.
The assailants made off with his £25,000 Rolex, according to the newspaper.
Scotland Yard said detectives were investigating the attempted robbery, which took place near to Surrey Quays station at about 1.45pm on November 6.
The attack came just four days after West Ham United striker Andy Carroll, 27, was allegedly threatened at gunpoint during an attempted robbery as he drove home from a training session.
A Met Police spokesman said: "One of the suspects threatened the victim with a knife before stealing his watch. The victim was not injured.
"At this early stage, officers are investigating whether the suspects intentionally collided with the victim's car."
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic described Carroll as "very brave" after the player was allegedly targeted as he drove his Mercedes G-Wagon back to his home in Essex from the club's Rush Green training ground.
Jack O'Brien, 22, of Ivyhouse Road, Dagenham, east London, is due to appear in court charged with a string of offences, including attempted robbery in connection with Mr Carroll.
