Two months
after popping the champagne when Sunderland miraculously avoided
relegation from the Premier League, striker Connor Wickham has been
spotted partying hard with a £17,500 bottle of the stuff.
The
21-year-old is understood to have racked up a mind-boggling £25,000 bar
bill while partying with pals at the Ocean Club in Marbella, with a
15-litre gold bottle of Armand De Brignac champagne the standout buy.
The
English forward seemed more than happy to foot the bill for the
extravagant drinks, which he generously shared with friends and even the
waiters at the club on the island of Puerto Banus.

Returning the favour: Then Wickham has a turn drinking from the huge bottle, though with less success
Wickham signed a four-year deal with Sunderland in 2011 to complete an £8million move from his home-town club Ipswich Town.
The
striker’s wages trebled to £25,000-a-week as a result, though is in
line for a new improved deal at the Stadium of Light after helping fire
them to safety at the end of last season.
Recalled
from his loan at Leeds in March to boost Sunderland’s striking options
as they battled relegation, his goals were crucial in saving them from
the drop.

His
brace of goals in a 4-0 win against Cardiff towards the end of April
led to him being named Barclays Premier League Player of the Month.
