Arsenal legend Wright: Martinez the man to succeed Wenger

Arsenal legend Ian Wright says Everton boss Roberto Martinez is the man to succeed Arsene Wenger.Everton's win at Goodison Park put them a point behind Arsenal with a game in hand, and marked the fourth straight game without a win for Wenger's men.

Wright said on BBC 5 Live: "That's the kind of manager that you want, a good young manager that has proven himself tactically, he knows what he's doing.

"It's got to be that kind of man, Roberto Martinez, he's the perfect one. If someone was to ask me who I want, I'd say Roberto Martinez.

"That's the kind of manager you've got to be looking at to take Arsenal forward."
