Arsenal to hold talks with Wilshere over Tottenham gaffe

Arsenal officials will speak with Jack Wilshere regarding his abusive comments directed at north London rivals Tottenham.

The England midfielder was heard to clearly swear during the Gunners' FA Cup celebrations when leading multiple chants against Spurs following his club's 4-0 triumph in Saturday's FA Cup final.

Wilshere made the same gaffe after last season's FA Cup win over Hull City and is set to hold talks with Arsenal for his behaviour.

Arsenal's in-house media channel quickly ceased their coverage of the parade during Wilshere's 'speech', prompting the presenter to apologise for the expletives used by the midfielder.
