West Ham midfielder Ravel Morrison has been fined £7,000 by the Football Association for using a gay slur on Twitter.
The 19-year-old was "warned as to his future conduct after he admitted a charge of using abusive and/or insulting words including a reference to a person's sexual orientation."
The teenager posted the tweet shortly after joining West Ham from Manchester United last month.
"West Ham United's Ravel Morrison has been fined £7,000 and warned as to his future conduct after he admitted a charge of using abusive and/or insulting words including a reference to a person's sexual orientation," read a statement on the club's official website.
"The charge was in relation to comments Morrison made on Twitter."
