Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley was reportedly kicked out of a bar in a central London hotel after a drunken row with diners and staff.

The Sun claim the 27-year-old Chelsea midfielder - currently on loan at Aston Villa - had been spending Thursday evening with a friend in The May Fair Hotel in central London, before the row erupted.

He was shown the exit door at 8pm and stumbled towards it having flailed his arms towards a customer's face, the report adds, while also stating one witness said he could barely stand and was slurring his words.

He reportedly briefly left with his friend but then returned to the bar frequented by around 100 people on the evening and once again had to be told to leave by hotel security.
