Chelsea players splash out £120,000 to celebrate Kalou birthday

Chelsea teammates spent over £120,000 to celebrate Salomon Kalou's birthday this week.

The Daily Mail says Chelsea captain John Terry spent £60,000 on bubbly and cocktails to help celebrate team-mate Salomon Kalou's birthday.

The Premiership team spent more than £120,000 on champagne and exclusive drinks during Kalou's 24th birthday celebrations.

While captain Terry footed half the bill, sources say he also left a £10,000 tip for staff at Mayfair bar Whisky Mist.

The rest of his team mates chipped in to help pay for the player's surprise birthday party at the exclusive bar.

The bar is a favourite with Prince Harry and sources say the prince was prevented from sitting in his usual VIP area thanks to the Chelsea celebrations.

But Harry was happy to sit elsewhere and even sent Kalou a congratulatory bottle of champagne from his own table.
