Soccer star Andy Carroll was boozing until 4am as he let his hair down just 36 hours before having a medical with West Ham.

The England striker enjoyed a night on the town in Las Vegas – and we are not talking about a quiet evening of roulette.

Sin City revellers were gobsmacked when a 6ft 3in chipmunk bounded on to the dance floor and pulled off its head to reveal Premier League favourite Andy, 24.

Not content with that, West Ham’s new £15million signing returned to the floor wearing a Superman cape and perched on a pal’s shoulders.

Clutching a bottle of wine and a glowstick in one hand and a bottle of champagne in the other, bare-chested Andy looked a true party animal.

He also brandished a “club cannon” and fired smoke into the crowd, finally calling it a day as dawn came up.

One Vegas holidaymaker seated near Andy and his pals said: “They were really going for it. He wasn’t acting like a guy who had something important coming up – he just seemed like part of a group who were really out to enjoy themselves. There were champagne and beer bottles all over the table and they seemed determined to enjoy every second of it.”

Andy went clubbing at the five-floor Hakkasan party resort – known as the King of Clubs – in the heart of the Vegas strip.

The 80,000 square feet venue is part of the legendary MGM Grand complex and cost an estimated £125million.

Hakkasan’s multi-million dollar nightclub, with arena standard sound and lighting system, is one of the world’s top party venues. Stars Jennifer Lopez and Paris Hilton were at the opening night earlier this year.

A behind-the-scenes area at the club is stocked with costumes for DJs to wear, which provided fun-loving Andy with his chipmunk and Superman gear.

Hours later he was on a plane to London to seal his move from Liverpool to West Ham – and sailed through a rigorous medical. He had been on loan at the East London club since 2012.

Hammers chairman David Gold told fans: “I am delighted to inform you that he has passed with flying colours.”

Andy has signed a six-year deal worth £100,000 a week – more than enough to pay for future antics in Las Vegas.
