Police are now investigating racist comments made to Newcastle United striker Sammy Ameobi on Twitter, the club confirms.

Newcastle United have confirmed that the police have been notified after striker Sammy Ameobi was racially abused on social networking site Twitter.

The club have vowed to take the "strongest possible action against those responsible" for the incident, which occurred two days ago.

"Newcastle United are aware of a racist remark that was directed towards Sammy Ameobi via Twitter on Sunday evening," read a statement from the club.
