SPURS ace Yves Bissouma filmed himself inhaling deadly laughing gas just days before the new season kicks off.
The £55,000-a-week Tottenham star laughed manically between taking hits from a balloon in footage which will dismay the footie player's boss and millions of fans.
The midfielder last night apologised for his "severe lack of judgment".
He had headed out to party following his side's last pre-season warm-up match against Bayern Munich in North London on Saturday evening.
During a raucous booze-fuelled night, the star, 27, was seen taking nitrous oxide in a chauffeur-driven limo carrying him and pals.
The player bafflingly shared the video of himself committing the crime to pals on Snapchat.
Possession of laughing gas with intent to get high was made illegal last year, with repeat offenders facing up to two years in jail and an unlimited fine.
A witness said: "It beggars belief any Premier League star would openly take hippy crack. It's a criminal offence and Yves now likely faces a police probe, let alone severe club sanctions.
"The new season kicks off next weekend and he has let down every single Spurs fan.
"Boss Ange Postecoglou will see red. Sharing the footage himself is utterly brainless."
Use of nitrous oxide can lead to brain disorders, depression, memory loss, incontinence, hallucinations and nerve damage.
Last night, Bissouma said: "I want to apologise for these videos. This was a severe lack of judgment.
"I understand how serious this is and the health risks involved, and I also take my responsibility as a footballer and role model very seriously."
Tottenham Hotspur told The Sun: "We are looking into the events.
"This will be dealt with as an internal matter."
Bissouma, who joined Spurs from Brighton in 2022, is the latest in a long line of Prem stars to inhale the gas.
In May, it was revealed one unnamed player was treated by paramedics months after it emerged he had a nitrous oxide addiction.
