Jarrod Bowen was involved in a heated exchange with furious West Ham supporters after Tuesday’s 3-2 defeat at Wolves that piled further pressure on Graham Potter.
Video footage showed Bowen, the club captain, walking across to the away end at Molineux after the final whistle.
Supporters vented their anger, and appeared to shout abuse and gesturing towards the forward, who stopped to argue back before being pulled away by stewards and team-mates.
Bowen looked visibly incensed as he jabbed his finger towards the crowd while words were traded.
