Maccabi Haifa have issued an apology to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club ahead of tonight’s Europa League play-off game after one of their team posted a video in which he grabbed his crotch and made a degrading comment about Spurs captain Harry Kane.
The Israeli football team’s midfielder Mohammad Abu Fani posted a short video clip that quickly went viral, in which he shouted: ”Harry Kane on my c**k.”
The 22 year-old midfielder had made the film in the dressing room as he and his team mates celebrated a victory in the tournament last week that set up this week’s game in north London.
But Maccabi Haifa chief executive Assaf Ben-Dov attended a pre-match press conference ahead of Thursday’s game to release a statement. He said: “I do not usually attend press conference but this time I felt it necessary to speak up.
