Description
Ian Wright has hit back at claims that his South African academy is ‘raping’ the country of its best talent. But the Arsenal legend has also insisted that it is not a problem if profits are made from the project. Sportsmail revealed that Wright and six Premier League stars – Alex Song, Mamady Sidibe, Stephen Warnock, Danny Collins, Julio Arca and Mart Poom – have helped set up the venture in Cape Town.
