Chelsea football club are reportedly set to take action to stop unofficial retailers selling T-shirts featuring Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane depicted as a Chasidic Jew.
The T-shirts were being sold outside the club’s Stamford Bridge ground after the Premier League match against Manchester United last Sunday.
The shirt shows Kane dressed in the garb of a strictly Orthodox Jew, complete with peyot and the words “he’s one of your own”, a reference to the chant about him sung by Spurs supporters.
Tottenham are referred to by their own fans as the Yids and have strong support within the Jewish community. The fans and the club have often been the target of antisemitic abuse.
