Asked if he had ever been racially targeted, he said: Yes I have. Not at the professional level, but growing up in the youth ranks.I was 12. I was at Arsenal at the time, it was an away trip to a German side I think.“I reported it, but nothing was done about it. I guess I just had to move on from it and become stronger from that.”
