The North London club confirmed on Monday they were conducting an internal investigation after a supporter, James Dickens, said he had confronted someone at Wembley's house over the abuse directed at Son.

"While the incident occurred at home, we have not yet determined whether the alleged individual was a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur or not," a spokesman for the Spurs said.

"The club will not tolerate any type of racist, discriminatory or antisocial behavior.

"We have a strict attitude of zero tolerance in this regard and will take action against anyone who behaves or uses abusive, offensive or obscene language."

Dickens said he is working with the club to identify the supporter.
"I have not experienced racism in football for about 15 years," Dickens wrote on Twitter. "But today at @SpursOfficial it was horrible," I informed the curators, I confronted myself.

"The Spurs have been in contact and I will work with them to find the person," he wrote. "Face racism and it will not survive, let it go and it will get worse."
