Chelsea's
£88m signing Mykhailo Mudryk has apologised after using a racial slur while
reciting a rap song on one of his social platforms.
Mudryk repeated the term as part of a clip posted on TikTok last July.
Sky Sports News has contacted Chelsea. The 22-year-old's representative told
The Sun: "Mykhailo is deeply sorry for any offence caused by the video.
"His intention was to solely recite the lyrics of a song. Mykhailo regrets
his decision and wholeheartedly accepts it's not appropriate."
Kick It Out said in a statement: "Kick it Out condemns the use of all racial
slurs, irrespective of context. The use of this term by high-profile figures
in football can only serve to alienate people from the game."
