Frederic Kanoute, the former Tottenham, West Ham and Sevilla striker, has said that enough has not been done to eradicate racism from football and called for stricter sanctions on racist fans and their clubs.

"It [racism] is not just in football but prevalent throughout societies. We all need to take a hard look in the mirror. What happened in the USA is a wake-up call for all of us," said La Liga-s ambassador Kanoute, 42, during a video conference, referring to the recent death of George Floyd in Minnesota.

Former Mali striker, Kanoute, who scored 23 goals in 39 matches for the African nation, called for harsh sanctions.
