Four Jacksonville Jaguars players were arrested in London on Saturday after allegedly attempting to leave a nightclub without paying their bar bill.

The Metropolitan Police were called at 05.55 BST to a club after reports of a fight.

It has been claimed that security staff at the London Reign Showclub prevented the players from leaving when they failed to settle a tab of almost £50k.

The Sun claim that four players then became involved in an altercation with security staff, before being arrested for fraud.
