A Singaporean man has pleaded guilty to sending death threats to Premier League footballer Neal Maupay.

Derek Ng De Ren, 19, sent the messages after Maupay's team Brighton & Hove Albion beat Arsenal last June.

Ng, who faces a fine up to £10,000 or a two-year prison sentence, also sent messages threatening Maupay's family.

The conviction is the first to be secured following a complaint over player abuse by the Premier League outside of the UK.

Had no idea Ty was from Singapore.

Good. I hope more of this starts happening. These idiots shouldn't be free to say these sorts of things without consequence.

 

[Crustanoid]

What a tool.

Wasn't Ty after all?
