Premier League football stars Jack Grealish and Connor Wickham appeared to get into separate altercations at an exclusive club in Mayfair.

The two English players were seen at around 3.00am at Tape nightclub yesterday morning being held back by security guards.

It is not known what provoked the bust-up but police have confirmed they did not attend the scene.

A source close to Grealish said he was only calling out to a friend to get into a waiting taxi.

In a separate incident at the same club, Wickham, 26, confronts a group of men while a friend appears to hold him back as security intervene.

A witness said he saw the Crystal Palace striker leave the club when another reveller said something to him 'out of the blue' which kicked off the scrap.

Both players had been involved in pre-season matches on Saturday with Wickham scoring past Bristol City and Grealish assisting two against Charlton Athletic.

It is not the first time that Jack Grealish has come under the spotlight for his off-the-field antics.

The talented star, who has often been linked with big-money moves to top clubs, was pictured passed out drunk in Tenerife in 2015.

Wickham has suffered a series of serious injuries and has only made six Premier League appearances in two years

He was also photographed partying with friends who were inhaling from balloons believed to have been filled with nitrous oxide after a humiliating 4-0 loss to Everton in 2015.

Grealish had appeared to put his antics to bed after a stunning season last year ended with promotion to the Premier League.

But again, his season was not without its notable moments after a Birmingham fan invaded the pitch during the local derby with Aston Villa and punched Grealish.

Earlier this season, Grealish, a boyhood Aston Villa fan, was assaulted by a fan from rival club Birmingham during the local derby

Grealish has previously been criticised for his partying after he was seen apparently passed out drunk next to a packet of cigarettes in Tenerife in 2015

His assaulter Paul Mitchell, 27, was jailed for 14 weeks, while Grealish went on to score the winner in the fiery derby.

Aston Villa and Crystal Palace have also been approached for statements.
