Footage has appeared online of Aston Villa supporters singing an offensive song about new signing Marvelous Nakamba.

The Zimbabwe international who has become a first-team regular was a target of the abuse after a small group of fans sang about him after the 5-1 victory over Norwich on Saturday.

Though the song was meant to praise him, it contained racist connotations, and several people who shared their views on social media have condemned it.

The lyrics included calling Nakamba a son of a ‘Rasta’, and his ‘master’ is John McGinn, who is also a midfielder at Villa.

The video has since been reported to racism charity Kick it Out.

Here is the video of the fans:
