Arsenal legend Ian Wright said Roberto Martinez is the
type of manager the London club needs, as Arsene Wenger's future remained
cloudy.
Martinez's Everton trounced Arsenal 3-0 at Goodison Park
on Sunday, as the Merseyside club took their UEFA Champions League destiny into
their own hands.Everton trail fourth-placed Arsenal by one point but have a
game in hand.
Wright said former Swansea and Wigan tactician Martinez
was the ideal man to takeover at Emirates Stadium, if Arsenal were to move on
from mainstay boss Wenger.
"That's the kind of manager that you want, a good
young manager that has proven himself tactically, he knows what he's
doing," Wright told the BBC.
"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."
Wenger's men are limping to the Premier League finish
line, as they have two points from their past four matches, while Everton have
won six in a row.
Wright said it was unacceptable that a traditional 'Big
Four' team was fading late in the campaign, hence why thoughts of sacking
Wenger have reared.
"I feel that like a lot of people out there it is
very hard to think of it (Arsenal without Wenger)," he said.
"As they say on social media, be careful what you
wish for, but we're in a situation now where Arsenal fans are starting to look
into this massive void and it's not looking good.
"This stage of the season the players should be
finishing on a high but they're running out of steam."
