Former Arsenal striker ‘disappointed’ by Aluko interview‘I’ve seen your apology, but I can’t accept it’
Ian Wright has admitted he was “very disappointed” about Eni Aluko’s recent comments regarding his involvement in women’s football and says he “can’t accept” her apology.
In an interview this week, Aluko claimed men such as Wright “should be aware” of the opportunities they take in the women’s game, claiming female broadcasters should not be “blocked” from having a pathway. On BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, the former England forward said: “I’ve worked with Ian a long time and, you know, I think he’s a brilliant broadcaster. But I think he’s aware of just how much he’s doing in the women’s game. I think he should be aware of that.”
