Former Premier League star Edson Alvarez has been accused of selling fake Covid vaccination certificates.

Mexican filmmaker Juan Jose Lopez Ordonez accused the midfielder and his former father-in-law, Jonathan Toache Bedolla, of selling the documents for upwards of £370 a piece.

The allegation, made at a press conference on Thursday, is the second time Ordonez has publicly targeted the Hammers player in recent weeks.

In September, the film producer claimed Bedolla's family had forced him into a vehicle at gunpoint in Mexico City in 2024, alleging Alvarez knew about the kidnapping despite not being directly involved.
