[ITV-football]Wenger keep tabs on SWP
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has upped the stakes ahead of Saturday's clash against Manchester City by claiming he would love to sign Shaun-Wright Phillips.
The City winger has hit the ground running this season, delivering some sterling performances to earn a debut England cap against Ukraine - a debut marked by a brilliant individual goal.
Wenger admitted the 23-year-old has caught their eye and that he could follow stepfather Ian Wright's footsteps and turn out for the Gunners some day.
"He is getting higher every year," said the Frenchman. "He is a guy we have an eye on and we follow his progress.
"He has a tremendous work rate and tremendous penetrating power. With the combination of the two, and his improvement technically every year, he will be a very good player.
"He is a Wright - and the Wrights have a big love affair with Arsenal. At the moment I do not want to say we are buying him, but he is one of the interesting players on the right flank in England.
"Could he be at Arsenal one day? It is not impossible but I don't know yet."

温格继续关注小赖特
阿森纳主帅阿森・温格声称他乐于签下肖恩-赖特・菲利普斯,这为本周六阿森纳对阵曼彻斯特城队的比赛增添了砝码。
这位曼城队的边锋由于在本赛季的优异表现,首次代表英格兰国家队出场,并在对阵乌克兰的比赛中贡献了一粒美妙的入球。
温格承认这个23岁的年轻人引起了他们的注意,并希望小赖特今后能踏着其继父伊安・赖特的脚印,成为枪手阵营中的一员。
这位法国教练说:“他每年都在提高。他是我们关注的目标,我们注视着他的进步。”
“他在场上非常敬业,而且具备惊人的爆发力。这两点,以及每年在技术上的进步,将使他成为一名非常优秀的球员。
“他姓赖特,赖特家对阿森纳有深厚的感情。虽然现在我们并没有试图签下他,但在右边路的位置上,他是英国最受关注的球员之一。
“有朝一日,他会不会来到阿森纳?有这个可能,但现在还不得而知。”
