The house of former Arsenal and Liverpool forward Jermaine Pennant is now a den of drugs.
According to several reports in the United Kingdom, Pennant's abandoned mansion is now a massive cannabis factory.
The discovery of a huge cannabis farm at the mansion was made following a police drugs investigation.
The English footballer lived at the mansion valued at over one million pounds during his time playing with Liverpool.
The property constructed in the 1930s has a tennis court, an ornamental pond, and an outdoor heated swimming pool along with several other luxuries.
Located near Liverpool’s John Lennon airport, in the upmarket area of Hale, the property is now a waste site for drug gangs.
An explorer in the area had a tour of the five-bedroom mansion captured on video and shared on social media.

“Wow, this is former footballer Jermaine Pennant's house, and look at the mountains of weed everywhere. There is so much of the stuff it stinks.”
