Jack Wilshere has denied he was involved in an alleged assault after a video emerged seemingly showing the Arsenal midfielder being questioned by police in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The 24-year-old was reportedly questioned by officers after being thrown out of the Café de Paris nightclub in central London.

The Daily Mirror alleges Wilshere became involved in an argument shortly before 2am that spilled out onto the street. It is also claimed a man said to be a nightclub promoter accused Wilshere of hitting him.

It has also published a video that appeared to show Wilshere hiding behind bins before speaking to ­police, while onlookers plead with him: “Jack, don’t get nicked.”

However, Wilshere is thought to have told Arsenal that he denies any allegation of assault, and the club consider the incident to be a private matter.

Neither the club nor the player have made an official statement on the allegations.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "At 2.15am on Sunday, 3 April, police patrolling Coventry Street became aware of two groups of males involved in an altercation.

"Officers intervened and one man claimed he was assaulted. He did not require hospital treatment.
