Tottenham say it is time for supporters to "move on" from using the Y-word after conducting a review of the term among the club's fanbase.

The review, which began in 2019, received more than 23,000 responses.

It found that there was a "growing desire" among fans to stop the use of the word, with 94% acknowledging it could be racist towards Jewish people.

"Now more than ever is the time to reassess and reconsider its ongoing use," a club statement said.

"We recognise how these members of our fanbase feel and we also believe it is time to move on from associating this term with our club.
