Pundit Ian Wright has hit back at suggestions from Lord Alan Sugar that he was parachuted into television coverage of Euro 2022.

The business tycoon and former Tottenham chairman took to Twitter at the weekend to question the lack of male presence in coverage of the women’s tournament, and later welcomed Wright’s inclusion, along with Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall, on the BBC’s panel for England’s 8-0 demolition of Norway on Monday evening.

Lord Sugar, the former Tottenham chairman, is renowned for his provocative or satirical tweets.
