The Metropolitan Police have confirmed they are investigating an alleged racist social media post aimed at Arsenal's Bukayo Saka.
Saka, 21, missed a penalty as Arsenal drew 2-2 away at West Ham on Sunday and a tweet was posted shortly after the final whistle reading, 'this clown has cost us the league'.
Accompanying the caption was a photo of Saka made to look like a monkey. The account that allegedly posted the tweet initially appears to have been deactivated, however another user posted a screenshot.
'Let find out who this piece of s*** is and give him a real good old fashion a** whooping,' the user tweeted alongside the grab of the original tweet.
