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

"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.
