Arsenal legend Ian Wright leaps to the defence of Jose Mourinho over player mutiny (Video)

He called the player in question 'a cancer'...

Ian Wright might be an Arsenal legend, but he’s firmly behind under-fire Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

The Portuguese boss looks like he might be facing a player mutiny after it was revealed one Stamford Bridge star would rather lose than get three points for him.

Former Gunners striker Wright has reacted furiously about this latest development coming out of camp of Arsenal’s London rivals Chelsea.

He said: “There’s dissension in the camp. We’re starting to hear players saying things like ‘I’d rather lose than win for Mourinho.’

“That for me is sackable. They’ve got to sort that guy out and get him out of there because that is a cancer, for want of a better word.

“That is horrible to have in your dressing room.”

Although when he thought about his Chelsea mates running around panicking at the current meltdown, the old Gooner did crack a cheeky smile.
