Eni Aluko has reignited her war of words with Ian Wright and claimed she hasn't had any pundit jobs with the Arsenal legend after he rejected her apology for suggesting he was blocking female pundits from being given broadcasting opportunities. 

Aluko claimed last April that former England international Wright's presence had made it tougher for female pundits trying to find a spot in the industry.

'I've worked with Ian a long time and, you know, I think he's a brilliant broadcaster, but I think he's aware of just how much he's doing in the women's game. I think he should be aware of that,' she told Radio Four's Women's Hour at the time.

'We need to be conscious and we need to make sure that women are not being blocked from having a pathway into broadcasting in the women's game.'

Aluko later publicly apologised to Wright, who responded by saying he could not accept. She later revealed she had attempted to say sorry privately and admitted her comments had been 'a mistake'.
