Tottenham condemn shameful abuse towards defender

Tottenham Hotspur have condemned racist abuse towards the Spurs' defender Destiny Udogie on social media after a 2-1 home win against Liverpool.

The Spurs said in a statement:

"We are disgusted at the racist messages directed towards Destiny Udogie social media following Saturday's game against Liverpool. We stand with you Destiny."

The club said that they would "work with the Premier League and, where possible, take action against any individual we are able to identify".

Udogie joined Tottenham in August 2022 from Udinese and was loaned back to the Italian side for the 2022-23 season.

The 20-year-old has started all seven Premier League games under manager Ange Postecoglou.

"Liverpool FC condemns all forms of racism and discrimination and will work with the relevant authorities and social media platforms to help identify those responsible and apply the strongest possible consequences," the Reds said.
