Ivory Coast international Wilfried Zaha called out the racist messages on Instagram, just months after he became the first Premier League footballer to stop taking the knee before games.
He also announced earlier this year that he would become the first Premier League player to stop taking a knee before games because he believed the meaning of the gesture had been lost.
"We should be encouraging better education in schools, social media companies should be taking strong action against people who abuse others online," he said in a statement.Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, has said it will clamp down on discrimination on its platform through methods such as removing accounts to prevent abusive messages from being sent by users.
Back in February this year, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden added the government was set to change the law to make social media companies accountable for any malicious content."We are going to change the law to make social media companies more accountable for what happens on their platforms and they can start showing their duty of care to players today by weeding out racist abuse now.
