PAA
West Ham have suspended their recruitment director while investigating claims he had said the English Premier League club will not sign any more African players.
The Daily Mail is reporting Tony Henry sent an email last Saturday containing the remarks.
West Ham opened an investigation into Henry and said in a statement it "will not tolerate any type of discrimination and has, therefore, acted swiftly due to the serious nature of these claims".

According to the Daily Mail, Henry said the east London club wanted to limit the number of African players because "they have a bad attitude" and "cause mayhem" when they are not in the team.
Henry insisted the policy had "nothing against the African race at all".
