Fenerbahce striker Emmanuel Emenike shared a picture on Twitter taken while drinking whiskey in his house, which angered some supporters of the Turkish champions.

Several fans led by S. Yeter insulted him on the social media platform, “Why didn’t you stay in Russia?”, and Emenike responded by saying, “come to my face and say that.”

Some of the aggrieved fans racially insulted him but the Nigeria international chose to remain silent.

The African Cup of Nations top goalscorer and his management team says they will take legal action against the supporters that harassed him on Twitter.

The 27 - year - old is spending his second season at Fenerbahce following his shift from Spartak Moscow in August 2013.
