Jack Wilshere chanting: Arsenal take no action against player

    

Arsenal will not be taking any action against Jack Wilshere for singing anti-Tottenham Hotspur songs during the club's FA Cup trophy parade.

The midfielder was reminded of his responsibilities as the club's media channel had to apologise mid-broadcast.

Wilshere, 23, led fans in an expletive-laden chant after the Gunners won their 12th FA Cup final with a 4-0 thrashing of Aston Villa at Wembley.

The England international did similar after their 2014 FA Cup final win.

Wilshere came on as a substitute against Villa, with goals from Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez, Per Mertesacker and Olivier Giroud making the London side the most successful club in the tournament's history.

Retaining the crown allowed manager Arsene Wenger to clinch a record-equalling sixth triumph in the world's oldest cup competition.

Radamel Falcao continues talks with Chelsea over £25m move as James Milner considers snubbing Liverpool to stay at Manchester City - TRANSFER COLUMN

• Chelsea and Monaco in talks over possible deal for Radamel Falcao
• French club hoping to recoup £25m for Colombian despite poor season
• Blues also keen on Atletico Madrid defender Toby Alderweireld
• Everton face prospect of losing influential midfielder James McCarthy
• James Milner could stay at Manchester City following new contract offer
• Liverpool set to meet with Burnley striker Danny Ings this week 

Chelsea and Monaco are expected to continue talks this week over the possible transfer of Radamel Falcao.

Monaco vice president Vadim Vasilyev is understood to have already met Valencia and Juventus about the possibility of selling the Colombian, with Monaco looking to recoup around £25m.

Chelsea want two strikers following Didier Drogba's departure with Falcao and Aston Villa's Christian Benteke on their list. Benteke wants to play in European competition but would prefer to stay in the Premier League too.

Jose Mourinho is also a fan of Gonzalo Higuain at Napoli, who has been discussed by Manchester United and Atletico Madrid despite his indifferent finish to the season.

Atletico Madrid defender Toby Alderweireld is an option too for Chelsea as they consider allowing Filipe Luis to return to Spain. Centre-back Joao Miranda has also been discussed with Alderweireld keen to join a club where he plays regularly.

Despite reports that Diego Costa is unsettled in England, Chelsea are unlikely to consider selling their star centre forward. They retain an interest in Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba also, as do Manchester City, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

Real Madrid are considering Marco Verratti at PSG and Pogba's midfield partner Arturo Vidal.

Everton face losing influential midfielder James McCarthy this summer after failing to fulfil promises over an improved contract.

The Republic of Ireland international signed from Wigan for £13m in 2013 and it is understood assurances were made that his terms would rise according to performances.

McCarthy has gone on to become an integral part of Roberto Martinez's side and statistically, in terms of pass completion and tackles made, has been one of their best players over the past two seasons. 

Indeed, he was sorely missed during a 13-game absence with a hamstring injury in the middle of the season.

Everton have improved contracts for some of their big-name players since and opened negotiations with others. Manager Martinez also agreed a new deal last summer.

Yet the prospect of losing McCarthy will be hard to take for fans amid concerns that divisions are appearing in the Everton squad. 

Veteran defender Sylvain Distin has left after falling out with Martinez while Kevin Mirallas cited 'broken promises' last week for his dissatisfaction with life at Goodison. 

Young left back Luke Garbutt is also deliberating over a new contract although he is keen to play more regularly.

In light of other negotiations, McCarthy's issue is understood to be more a point of principle than about finance but Everton have yet to appease the situation.

McCarthy had interest from Arsenal and Tottenham in January and the 24-year-old won't be short of admirers. 

However, Everton would still point to the fact he has three years left on his contract should enquiries follow suit and that will be reflected in any selling price.

James Milner is considering the option of staying with Manchester City after all.

The England midfielder has looked almost certain to join Liverpool in a free transfer move but has concerns with what is happening at Anfield. 

His representatives have also spoken to Arsenal while there is interest from Everton, Roma, Inter Milan and clubs in Spain.

The 29-year-old has been offered an improved contract at City of around £150,000 a week but it has been about making more starts and appearing in the bigger games. 

Liverpool believe they hold the trump card but Milner is reconsidering the merits of staying at City. 

He has just returned from their tour to the US and is due to join up with friends for a brief break before teaming up with England for games against Republic of Ireland, on June 7, and Slovenia on June 14. He is looking to have a clear decision in mind after those games.

Liverpool are holding talks with Burnley's Danny Ings this week to underline where they see him fitting in.

Ings knows Burnley have accepted a £12m bid from Tottenham and that Real Sociedad want him but he has his heart set on Anfield. The problem for Liverpool is their limited budget being stretched.

Brendan Rodgers will have talks with Mike Gordon this week but Liverpool only envisage spending around £20m. 

They have offered £8million plus add ons for Nathaniel Clyne so far but Southampton want £15m and Liverpool fear they may have to pay £8m for Ings at a tribunal.

They still want another striker, namely £32.5m Christian Benteke, a goalkeeper and a midfielder.

They are struggling to raise money through sales although Raheem Sterling could solve that if they changed their stance on the England international.

Motherwell striker Lee Erwin will be adding his fighting spirit to Leeds United's attack next season. The 21-year-old who was involved in an ugly fracas with Rangers' Bilel Mohsni at the end of Sunday's play-off final, is poised to sign for the Elland Road side on a free transfer.

Motherwell are due compensation owing to Erwin's age but Leeds are happy they have a decent prospect on their hands.

Mohsni's career prospects are not so promising though. As well as facing a police investigation for his actions his agent accepts his career in the UK is now finished.

His Paris-based representative said: 'He won’t be staying at Rangers after that but I can’t tell you where he is going to end up because I don’t know. But he will leave the country, that’s for sure now. 

'Do I worry that this will put other clubs off taking a chance on him? The clubs in the UK, yes. Abroad is a bit different but his reputation in the UK has been altered now.'

Southampton are discussing Feyenoord's Jordy Clasie and Lille midfielder Idrissa Gueye as they prepare for Morgan Schneiderlin's departure.

Manchester United have joined Arsenal by showing interest in the France international although, as reported in Sportsmail, they have yet to place a bid for the 25-year-old.

Gueye, who has interest from Crystal Palace and West Ham too, said in an interview with La Voix du Nord: 'There are contacts and there will be offers. I will have to look at it all and decide what suits me best. 

'Find the offer that will allow me to grow, to allow me to take new steps to be in line with my ambitions but I feel good at Lille and if I was to stay here, it would not be the end of the world. 

'But everyone knows that England has a league that attracts me, even if I am not closing the door on going to other leagues.'

West Ham are maintaining an interest in free agent Stephane Mbia. The former QPR midfielder is out of contract after finishing his time at Sevilla and has been linked with a move to Trabzonspor.

However, he is keen to return to the Premier League where he also has tentative interest from Liverpool. 

West Ham's Bermuda striker Djair Parfitt-Williams, 18, has signed a two year professional contract at the club.

Fulham have made an enquiry for Wolves defender Richard Stearman. The 27-year-old had a strong finish to the season and is well thought of by Fulham boss Kit Symons. Wolves are also braced for offers from Sunderland for 24-year-old defender Danny Batth.
