Official Statement

“Our club does not tolerate racism and condemns all forms of it in the strongest possible way.

We spoke to the defender in question to understand what was said. He has told us the comment he made, to his co-defender, was “ignore him, he thinks he’s Jackie Chan”.

Having spoken to our player at length, we are confident this was in reference to the player’s name, and to the constant references of ‘Channy’ made by his own teammates on the pitch.

As far as our club is concerned our player did not say anything in a derogatory manner.

We are disappointed that the reaction of certain Wolves players has seen the incident blown out of proportion.”
