Metropolitan Police and Derbyshire Police are currently investigating racist online abuse sent to West Brom striker Callum Robinson.

On April 3, Robinson received monkey emojis on Instagram in response to a post after scoring twice in West Brom’s 5-2 Premier League win at Chelsea.

Robinson captured and highlighted the posts in an Instagram story and West Brom reported the abuse to authorities.

West Midlands Police have now transferred the investigation to their counterparts in London and Derbyshire.

The two forces told Sky Sports News on Tuesday that their investigations were ongoing and that no arrests had been made at this point.

In April, Instagram deleted an account and a number of offensive comments after Robinson was abused on the platform.
