Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen has apologised in the name of the club to Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger after the German centre-back was the target of alleged racist abuse during Sunday's Premier League outing.

Per Dan Kilpatrick and James Olley of the London Evening Standard, the Belgian said:

"I didn't hear anything [myself], but if these things are still happening, it is a disgrace and we should act strong against it.

"I have got no idea how people still, or ever, thought this way.
