'Look at the chest on this yute': Ian Wright pokes fun at his grandson and Stoke City striker D'Margio Wright-Phillips, 20, after he claimed he is a BETTER finisher than the Arsenal legend... amid his flying start to life as a professional footballer

Ian Wright has made a playful dig at the confidence of his grandson D'Margio Wright-Phillips after the young Stoke striker claimed he is a BETTER finisher than his grandad.

Wright is an Arsenal and Crystal Palace legend with 387 goals in a hugely successful playing career, but he was brought down a peg or two by his 20-year-old grandson in an interview this week.

D'Margio, who made his professional debut in the third round of the FA Cup earlier this season and scored on his first home start in the Championship, made the bold claim in an interview with the Times this week.
