Tales from the Tabs

Two Premier League soccer stars were at the centre of claims last night that they hired 14 hookers and a transvestite for a wild after-match party, the Sun reports.

Arsenal striker Carlos Vela and Fulham defender Carlos Salcido celebrated with Mexico team-mates at their squad's hotel following their 1-0 friendly win over Colombia last week.

Vela, who scored twice in the Gunners' 6-0 thrashing of FC Braga on Wednesday, and Salcido were among three players pictured with a blonde called Gema, apparently unaware "she" was a transvestite.

The Mexican FA have launched an investigation into the party.
