Reports are out claiming that Everton are pushing to open new contract talks with James McCarthy.
The Sunday World reported that Everton boss Roberto Martinez is urging his board to pin McCarthy down to a new contract before he is tempted by the prospect of a move to North London.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is a long-time admirer of McCarthy and has tracked his progress since his days at Wigan.
But McCarthy opted not to make a move for the Scottish-born star before he made a £16m move to Everton in the summer of 2013.
