Chelsea billionaire owner, Roman Abramovich, has written to the squad, saying he is "appalled" by the racist abuse directed towards Reece James.

The 21-year-old was the target of racist messages on Instagram last week.

Abramovich has now written to every member of the squad and promised to provide more funding in order to tackle the problem.

"Racism has no place in our club nor in our society.
