Police are investigating online abuse directed at Premier League footballers over the weekend, with offenders warned: "Anyone who believes they can hide behind their keyboards should think again".
The UK Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) said it had received four separate reports of abuse towards top-flight players over the last three days.
Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare and Sunderland midfielder Romaine Mundle became the latest players to be targeted by online abuse on Sunday, following on from abuse aimed at Chelsea's Wesley Fofana and Burnley's Hannibal Mejbri on Saturday.
Chief Constable Mark Roberts, the head of the UKFPU, said on Monday: "There is absolutely no place for racial abuse, either online or in person, and anyone who believes they can hide behind their keyboards should think again.
"The UKFPU condemns this abhorrent behaviour and we will ensure that, through our dedicated team of officers, we do everything possible to identify those responsible and bring them to justice."
