Chelsea football club have vowed to take the strongest action against the ‘idoit’ whose gestures were aimed at Tottenham’s Son Heung-min in the last Sunday’s premier league match.
This happened when the Tottenham forward was taking a corner at Stamford Bridge when the fellow made a gesture indicating the 2021/22 top scorer’s ethnicity.
Chelsea describes the incident as ‘totally abhorrent’ and is being investigated to identify the individual responsible.
“Chelsea Football Club finds any form of discriminatory behaviour totally abhorrent. It has no place at Chelsea or in any of our communities.
Chelsea FC has consistently made its zero tolerance position on discriminatory behaviour very clear, yet there are still idiots like this that attach themselves to this club as so-called ‘fans’, which shames Chelsea FC, our coaches, players, staff and our true supporters.
We are investigating this incident and, if identified, this individual will face the strongest action from the club,” the club statement.
