Everton has strongly denounced the "abhorrent" racist abuse that was directed at Amadou Onana following their 4-0 defeat against Aston Villa on Sunday. The 22-year-old midfielder bravely shared a screenshot of a racist message he received on social media.
This follows Everton's recent condemnation of the social media abuse aimed at striker Neal Maupay after the team's 1-0 loss to Fulham last week.
"Everton strongly condemn any form of racist and discriminatory abuse towards our players," the club said.

"Such abuse is vile and will not and should not be tolerated."
Furthermore, Everton stated that they are currently undertaking an investigation to identify the individual responsible for this reprehensible act. The club is committed to cooperating fully with the police in their own investigations into this matter.
"We must all take a zero tolerance stance by reporting such behaviour to social media platforms and the authorities. Racism has no place online, in our stadia or in our communities," the Toffees added.
