West Ham have given a life
ban to a fan after a video allegedly featuring antisemitic chants from a match
last season was shared on social media.
The
video appeared on Monday and the club have responded by banning a supporter
from their London Stadium for life in relation to the footage.
“We are disgusted by the contents of a video circulating on
social media on Monday evening, filmed near the start of the 2018-19 season” a
West Ham statement read on
Tuesday.
We have taken immediate action to identify the
offender and have subsequently handed our evidence to the Metropolitan Police.
“Additionally,
the individual concerned will be banned for life for the London Stadium.
“The
Club is unequivocal in its stance – we have a zero-tolerance approach to any
form of abhorrent behaviour.”
