Gunner’s midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong is to be warned by manager Arsene Wenger over what he says on twitter.
After not playing in last night’s Capital One Cup defeat to Chelsea that saw Arsenal go out following a 0-2 loss at home the Ghanaian international implied on twitter that the reason he did not play was because he was black when answering a question as to why he did not play he tweeted: “LOL I wanna laugh.” He then wrote: “Sometimes I wish I was white and English.”
Frimpong later got rid of that tweet and added “not every tweet is football related. Goosh [sic]” and later, “Look what ever [sic] you read tomorrow has majorly been twisted. Is a joke what people will do to start controversy goodnight people.”
At this stage it is believed that Arsenal will remind the 21-year-old about his responsibilities when using social media with no further action being taken.
Wenger is certainly not a racist in any way and says the reason that Frimpong has not played is because “he is still short of competition”.
