Arsenal legend Ian Wright ‘jealous’ of Tottenham summer transfer business

Ian Wright says Tottenham's summer transfer business is making Arsenal fans jealous.

Spurs have already signed Richarlison, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma and Fraster Forster, and hope to add further defensive additions - with Djed Spence and Clement Lenglet linked - as Antonio Conte looks to build on a fourth-place finish.

The Gunners have also been busy, spending close to £100million on Gabriel Jesus, Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos and Matt Turner, and want to add Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez who is expected to cost north of £40m.

But Wright remains fearful of Spurs' squad, with the likes of Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski added in January and with Conte at the helm.

"I feel Tottenham are going to cause problems," said Wright on his ‘Wrighty’s House’ podcast. "You can’t not be jealous of that summer, especially coming from the other side of north London.

"They are frightening, man. Everything we are doing at Arsenal, and I am putting on as my armour. But we have done this. We have Vieira. We have two number 10s now. And we are still trying for [Youri] Tielemans. And we have Gabriel Jesus.

"So, you are trying to arm yourself because the Tottenham fans are saying ‘well, we have Bissouma now, Richarlison, [Harry] Kane, then Bentancur is going to kick in and we have seen what [Cristian] Romero is about'.

"When you look at how Tottenham can flex when they are doing it under this manager, it kind of makes me feel s***."
