Ian Wright issues humourous response to claim from Stoke City’s D’Margio Wright-Phillips

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has responded after his grandson, Stoke City’s D’Margio Wright-Phillips, claimed to be a better finisher than him.

D’Margio Wright-Phillips, who is also the son of former Chelsea, Manchester City and England man Shaun Wright-Phillips, came through the youth ranks at Manchester City, before joining Stoke earlier this year.

The 20-year-old is now already starting to make an impression for the Potters at senior level, making seven first-team appearances for the Championship club, scoring once in a 3-2 defeat to league leaders Fulham.

Perhaps not surprisingly given his ability and family links, the Stoke attacker has earned plenty of attention recently.

In a recent interview, D’Margio claimed that while he sees himself as a similar player to dad Shaun, he also believes is a better finisher than grandfather Ian, something which seems to have caught the attention of the Gunners icon.

Taking to Twitter, Wright shared a screenshot of that quote from D’Margio headling an article, and commented: “Look at the chest on this yute”.

That was accompanied by a number of laughing faces of heart emojis, showing that as ever, Wright is taking things in good humour.
