Leicester midfielder Hamza Choudhury has issued an apology over his past offensive social media posts dating back to 2013, saying the views expressed 'do not represent his true beliefs.'
Tweets dating from July 2013 to May 2014 surfaced during Leicester's 3-0 victory over Arsenal, and featured racist and homophobic slurs, as well as one in which he said he 'did not feel sorry' for people who self-harm or commit suicide.
"They do not represent my true beliefs," the 21-year-old told the BBC.
"I've learned a lot as a person in my early years as a professional - certainly enough to know that some of the thoughtless comments I have made in the past are both hurtful and offensive.
