Following a 2-2 draw with Brighton, Tottenham has denounced the racist abuse aimed at defender Kevin Danso, labeling it 'vile, dehumanising racism'. The club has reported the racist comments, which appeared on social media, to the police. Danso addressed the abuse on Instagram, stating that it 'has no place in this game or anywhere' and that it won't distract him from his focus on the next games.
Tottenham's statement emphasized that the club is taking immediate action, reporting all identified content to the authorities and social media platforms, and pushing for the strongest possible action against perpetrators. The Premier League and Kick It Out have also condemned the abuse, reaffirming their commitment to tackling discrimination in football.
