Arthur Masuaku has been seriously abused by a vile racist on social media and thankfully has let the world know about it.
In a loathsome attack, the so called Hammers supporters tells him this club is for white players only and that he should get out.
Masuaku shared the horribly offensive messages and then slammed the disgusting individual after the attack surfaced on Instagram.
The message read: “This team is only for white people your s*** get out.”
The fan continued his abuse via the direct messaging tool on Instagram, urging the left-back to “leave the f****** club.”
Arthur’s reaction to the filth was to post a screen grab of the messages, and wrote: “Some people I swear.”
This latest incident comes after players who took part in the Enough campaign for a 24-hour social media boycott in protest at online racial abuse received further insults in response to their posts.
ClaretandHugh says: This filth has no place in ours or any other club. The language used is so disgustingly offensive that you wonder whether the ‘perp’ has any sort of brain in his head. It’s totally beyond words. Sadly there are those associated with this club who believe racist attacks are totally acceptable. They are not and the pity is that it will probably be impossible to dig out this lousy coward who in other circumstances would be banned from West Ham for life. There’s been a flawed view going around for too long that racism in the game is a thing of the past. Once black faces were rare but that we are all now entertained by a huge number of black players, and that this sort of behaviour to still be going on, is beyond any words I have to express contempt. It’s one thing not to like a player but this is a disgrace. All our sympathies are with you Arthur.
Discusting please find them and ‘kick them out’
Sorry authur
This awful message is obviously by some brain dead idiot that knows nothing about our club.We have been blessed with some fantastic black players going back to the days of Clyde Best indeed West Ham were one of the pioneers of introducing black players to the league.Its a cowardly attack on Arthur and one of the downsides of social media unfortunately.
Sorry to hear this, hopefully the police will track the moron down and arrest him, please pass Arthur our best wishes.
And BTW Arthur, well played yesterday!!
This may come from a rival club supporter. We may be the target of some backlash here. Whoever it is sounds like a pretty sick individual and we can only hope he is tracked down and prosecuted.
Disgusting treatment of a player because of his colour. Well done to Arthur for bring this out into the public arena. There is no place for racists at our club.
This is not a human being let alone a football supporter. We all stand together against such morons. CLARET & BLUE, BLACK & WHITE.
Hugh thanks for bringing this to our attention. It would be nice if you could convey a message of support to Arthur via your insider connections. It would be good for him to know that the majority of fans support all of our players whatever their race or nationality
Hear Hear – please pass on our good wishes to Arthur
