Tottenham confirm they are working with police to identify a Crystal Palace supporter who made a racist gesture towards Son Heung-min during Premier League clash on Saturday as they promise to impose 'strongest possible action'

The Metropolitan Police are working to identify a Crystal Palace supporter who appeared to direct racist abuse at Tottenham attacker Son Heung-min on Saturday.

The South Korean star was substituted in the 89th minute and exited the pitch via the quickest route possible that saw him have to walk past travelling Palace fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Commonplace hand gestures that greet opposition players at matches were directed towards Son, along with one man who appeared to racially abuse the 30-year-old.

A series of actions saw the supporter pull his eyes sideways, swear at Son, and appear to mock a tourist taking pictures with a camera.

Video footage captured the three second interaction and efforts are now underway to identify the individual involved.

Tottenham have released a damning statement over alleged racism aimed at Heung-Min Son
