Tottenham Hotspur winger Aaron Lennon reportedly got into a war of words with One Direction singer Liam Payne at a nightclub in London.

The 26-year-old is thought to have been partying with teammates Tom Huddlestone, Kyle Walker and Jake Livermore at Mayfair's Funky Buddha club.

While sitting in the VIP club, the group were thought to have been teasing one of the female waitresses, which Payne took a disliking to and approached the table saying, "What the fuck is going on?!", according to The Mirror.

Lennon is thought to have reacted to Payne's approach but was quickly calmed down by his friends while the X Factor singer returned to his table.
