A lot of players not involved in the weekend internationals use the break to put their feet up, hit the golf course or put in some extra hours in the gym. But not Benoit Assou-Ekotto, who instead posted a video of himself skydiving in Miami.

It is not clear whether the on-loan QPR defender went to the States to celebrate being reunited with former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp during the transfer window, or whether this was a belated video from his summer holidays.

Either way, it’s a pretty cool film, although Metro Sport are surprised the 29-year-old was allowed to take the jump with his huge hair-do – surely it was a distraction for the guide strapped to Assou-Ekotto’s back!
