Fraizer Campbell receives racist tweet

Police have launched an investigation after Sunderland striker Fraizer Campbell received a racist message on Twitter.

The 24-year-old was called a "big f**king n*****" by TheReid1, whose account no longer exists.

A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "We are aware of the matter and inquiries are being made into it."

The same force arrested two teenagers after similar abuse was sent to Newcastle United striker Sammy Ameobi a fortnight ago.
