The Premier League and a former diversity consultant who accused the organisation of racism have reached an out of court settlement just hours before the case was due to be heard.

Kay Badu, who joined the organisation in 2022, was taking the governing body to an employment tribunal on the grounds of racial discrimination, victimisation and harassment following his departure in December 2022.

The case is was listed to be heard on Tuesday, with the case expected to take a number of days to complete.

But the Premier League have confirmed the matter has now been resolved without the requirement for the case to start.

'The Premier League can confirm that it has resolved an Employment Tribunal claim brought by a former consultant who worked with the League in 2022,' a spokesman said.
