- Pundit laments ‘clickbait’ after controversial comments
- Ian Wright has long advocated for women’s game
Eni Aluko has denied she “attacked” Ian Wright with her comments over his involvement as a pundit in women’s football.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour this week, the former England forward discussed the risk of men blocking opportunities for female broadcasters in women’s football. When asked by the presenter Clare McDonnell whether Wright was an example of someone taking up space that could be occupied by a woman, Aluko 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.”
