The 20-year-old uploaded videos of guests receiving lap dances to a private Snapchat group, captioning one of them ‘quarantine clean’, The Mirror reported.
His action came on a day the United Kingdom’s death toll passed the 20,000 mark.
“Everton are appalled to learn of an incident in which a first-team player ignored government guidance and club policy in relation to the coronavirus crisis,” his club said in a statement.
“The club has strongly expressed its disappointment to the player and made it clear that such actions are completely unacceptable.”
The club added that all their staff had been informed of the government guidelines, which include one piece of exercise a day and to restrict oneself to social interaction with just those of the household.
“Everton has regularly stressed the importance of following all the government guidelines — including rules and advice for inside and outside of the home — through a series of official communications to all staff members, including players,” the club said.
“The amazing people in the NHS deserve the utmost respect for their hard work and sacrifice. The best way to show them respect is by doing everything we can to protect them.”
