Ian Wright sends powerful message to Bukayo Saka after sickening racist abuse

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has publicly issued his support to Gunners star Bukayo Saka in light of the racist abuse the 21-year-old suffered on Sunday night.

The vile messages were sent via social media in the aftermath of Saka's performance against West Ham earlier that afternoon. Arsenal raced into a 2-0 lead, only to end up drawing the game 2-2 after the England star missed a penalty at a crucial time while the scoreline was still 2-1 to Mikel Arteta's men.

Following the full-time whistle, Saka was sent a racist message on social media - which The Mirror has chosen not to repeat - while a number of users have already condemned the posts.
