Ian Wright is 'indignant' over Eni Aluko's latest comments about him, though the former Arsenal star won't be responding to them publicly.
Aluko sparked controversy last year when she suggested Wright and other male pundits were 'blocking' women from broadcasting opportunities in the women’s game.
The ex-England Lionesses star then proceeded to apologise but Wright refused to accept it, with the pundit making his stance abundantly clear.
Earlier this month, the feud was reignited again with Aluko calling the 62-year-old 'childish' and 'disrespectful' while appearing on a popular podcast.
She also argued that men had taken opportunities away from women during Euro 2025, with Nedum Onuoha targeted in that specific rant.
Now, according to the Daily Mail, Wright has been left 'indignant' after Aluko's latest verbal tirade.
It's also said he is refusing to respond to them publicly because he doesn't want to 'dignify' her.
Ian Wright refused to accept Eni Aluko's apology last year | GETTYEver since Aluko first targeted Wright last year, ITV have distanced themselves from the pundit.
They released a statement at the time backing Wright for the way he's championed and help to grow the women's game over the years, effectively offering him support.
Aluko recently suggested 'budget cuts' were behind her lack of recent appearances with the broadcaster. She said: "I think that's just their choice, right. They wanted to go with other pundits for the final."

| GETTYWhen quizzed on whether she'd have wanted to be involved, she responded: "Yeah of course, but by the time I worked on the Women's Euros last year we'd already had a conversation that I wouldn't be working with ITV as much, so there was already a conversation about my role changing slightly.
"I was disappointed but the reason was never 'you're not good enough to do a final'.
"The reason that was given to me was that 'we're cutting budgets and we're reducing from three pundits to two, and you're contract isn't the priority, Ian Wright's is.' That was the reason given to me.
"So to clarify for everybody that just wants to make a conclusion that I'm just no good enough, it's just not the case.
"In the 11 years I've been working as professional pundit, I've never ever had a top producer, a director of TV, anyone, say 'you're not good enough, you're struggling, you can't put your sentences together'.
"Quite the opposite! I'm the geek that goes to the producer and stats guy and goes 'how can I improve'. I've got texts and emails of support saying 'you're brilliant today'."
Ian Wright won't be responding publicly to Eni Aluko's comments
| PAThe report says, however, that Weight has actually been 'willing to discreetly help her'.
However, with ITV having the final say, the 62-year-old isn't in a position to help Aluko get the spotlight she craves.
Within the women's game, stances on the 39-year-old appear to vary.
Some suggest that she's difficult to work with, and that she 'brings this belief that it's the whole world against her'.
Others, however, speak of a pundit who does indeed have the knowledge, and the credentials, to warrant a high platform.
How her relationship with Wright evolves after this month's controversy remains to be seen.
