Anti-racism charity Kick It Out says there has been a rise in incidents of racism towards East and South East Asian players.

Of the 937 player-specific abuse reports to KIO in the past five full seasons , 327 of them have been directed at just seven players from an East Asian background.

The most high profile players in the Premier League are Spurs' Son and Hwang Hee-Chan from South Korea and the Japanese quartet of Brighton winger Kauro Mitoma , Arsenal 's Takehiro Tomiyasu , Crystal Palace's Daichi Kamada and Southampton 's Yukinari Sugawara .

Min: "It's easy to conclude that East and South East Asians don't play football - but there is a missing link that they are often playing at levels unaffiliated to the county FA system so it is easy to ignore them" Min added: "I've had negative incidents myself but the love of football has put me in the position where I am working in the game in this role".
