Arsenal have launched an investigation into a social media video that appears to show a fan racially abusing Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly during last night’s Europa League game.

The supporter in question can be heard using the n-word towards the Senegal international as they recorded a video inside the Emirates Stadium.

He says: “Koulibaly is a f***ing n*****.”

The Gunners are now looking into the incident and have vowed to ban the culprit.

An Arsenal statement reads: “We utterly condemn use of this type of racist language.”

It added: “We have launched an investigation to identify the culprit.

“We operate a zero-tolerance approach and anyone behaving like this is not welcome at Arsenal and will be banned from matches.

Arsenal won last night’s quarter-final first leg 2-0, with Koulibaly scoring an own goal.
