The club is taking immediate action. We are reporting all identified content to the Metropolitan Police and to the appropriate authorities in the country where perpetrators reside, as well as to relevant social media platforms. We will push for the strongest possible action against each and every person we identify.
Kevin has our complete and unconditional support as a player and as a person. No one at this club will ever stand alone in the face of this.
Nothing about form or league position can ever excuse or explain racist abuse. There is no connection between performance on the pitch and the right to target a player with discrimination. Criticism of performances is part of the game. Racism is not.
We work with specialist third parties dedicated to monitoring online abuse, investigating incidents and identifying perpetrators.
Abusers could face custodial sentences, football banning orders, criminal records, fines, community orders or police-mandated educational programmes. We have successfully secured criminal convictions following abuse of our staff and players, including individuals based overseas, and we have also issued indefinite Club bans.
We call on X, Instagram and all platforms to act quickly and decisively when racist abuse is reported. We also encourage anyone who sees abuse of this kind to report it directly to us at report@tottenhamhotspur.com so we can take the strongest possible action.
There is no place for racism at Tottenham Hotspur. There is no place for racism in football.
**â Statement, Tottenham Hotspur** Thereâs little I can add to this statement, except to lament that I was writing this same article 12 years ago when I was a nascent blog manager and Iâm still writing the same article today. I hate it. I hate that these vile people are so quick to abuse a black player who has been nothing but good for the club and been a fantastic servant, even in the midst of this tire fire of a season. I hate that social media platforms, which have the tools to combat this plague of anonymous racism, refuse to act. And I hate the acknowledgement that all clubs have their racist subset of fans, even ours. May we someday get to a point as a society where this doesnât happen.
