Ian Wright: 'Arsenal must learn from Tottenham Hotspur'

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright suggests that the change in mentality witnessed at Tottenham Hotspur this season is something the Gunners can learn from.

Ian Wright has claimed that former side Arsenal must take some inspiration from North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur if they are to avoid ending the season trophyless.

The Gunners' hopes of success this term now appear to lie solely on the Premier League, having been dumped out of the FA Cup by Watford at the weekend.

Arsenal still remain in the Champions League but, with a two-goal deficit to make at the home of reigning European champions Barcelona in midweek, their hopes of progression are likely to come to an end.

Wright, who criticised certain sections of the club's fanbase last week, believes that a change in mentality is needed over the coming weeks.

"They're doing stuff that you expect them to do now," he is quoted as saying by The Express. "You want to see them do stuff that you're not expecting - like win games that they have to win.

"That's what you want - to see the change. Just like Spurs have got a change about them. There's no change at Arsenal and it seems like it's the same old, same old about to happen again."

Spurs are on track to end their five-decade wait for a league title this season, as they trail leaders Leicester City by just two points following victory over Aston Villa on Sunday.
