POLICE are investigating claims that two Saints players were involved in a street brawl with a fan in Southampton.
The Daily Echo can today reveal that strikers David McGoldrick and Bradley Wright-Phillips are at the centre of the inquiry.
The highly-paid pair were allegedly involved in an incident outside Wetherspoon’s The Giddy Bridge pub, in London Road, in the early hours of Saturday.
The probe was launched after a 21-year-old man claimed he had been assaulted as he was making his way home from the city centre.
It is understood that he alleged that he was left covered in take-away food and nursing grazes and bruising following the incident.
The alleged assault was reported to police and the fan is due to make a further statement on Wednesday.
Hampshire police last night confirmed an investigation had been launched.
