Swansea have said they are "sickened" by "disgusting" racist social media abuse aimed at Ireland striker Michael Obafemi following his loan switch to Burnley.

The 22-year-old, who scored 15 goals in 52 appearances for Swansea, has joined Vincent Kompany's side until the end of the season, with a view to a permanent transfer.
