FOOTBALLER Chris Smalling (pictured) has launched legal action against a representative of St. James's Place over investments he made in two bonds with the firm.

While at Manchester United for over 10 years (2010 to 2020) Smalling made 323 appearances for the team of that 206 were Premier League games.

Earlier this year, his legal team at Thomas Mansfield Solicitors filed a claim to the Financial List of the High Court against

London-based Klipp Wealth Management (KWM Wealth).

According to court documents, the footballer invested in two bonds with the financial adviser firm. The first required a monthly contribution of £80,000 and the second involved a £1.2m payment.

KWM Wealth is an appointed representative of St. James's Place Wealth Management. He is now seeking more than £750,000 in damages as he claims this is what he paid in fees over eight years on bonds he invested in through KWM.
