Norwich City lodge four reports of alleged racist abuse aimed at centre-back Sebastien Bassong in recent weeks.

Premier League side Norwich City have revealed that they have reported four separate cases of racist abuse aimed at their defender Sebastien Bassong.

Bassong made a complaint to referee Howard Webb during Saturday's 4-3 win over Swansea City on Saturday regarding racist comments during the match and as a result a supporter from the home section was arrested and charged.

However, the Canaries have since revealed that three more alleged incidents have taken place recently.

"Norwich City regrets to confirm four separate cases involving actual or alleged racist abuse aimed at our defender Sebastien Bassong have been reported to police in the last two weeks," read a statement on the club's official website.

"In the evening following the match a tweet containing racist abuse was sent to Sebastien's twitter account. We have this morning passed details of this incident on to Norfolk Police for them to investigate.

"Meanwhile Norfolk Police are in the process of investigating two further separate racist tweets about Sebastien sent following our 1-1 draw at Everton on Saturday, November 24.

"Sebastien Bassong is a fantastic athlete and professional who we are proud to have on board at Norwich City. It is deeply disappointing that his recent excellent performances for the club should be tarnished by these incidents."

Norwich also added their thanks to Swansea for the way that they have handled the situation.
