Arsenal need to learn Leicester's 'will to win,' says Ian Wright

That never-say-die spirit arguably helps explain why Leicester have won five of their last seven matches by a 1-0 scoreline.

"How many times have I said to you about 1-0?" posed managerial great Sir Alex Ferguson after one such victory four years ago for his Manchester United team. "It means championship form.

"I don't mind the 1-0s, I really don't. It tells you we are determined, we're going to defend, do the right things and play as a team."

These days, Arsène Wenger's Arsenal teams are a very different proposition. Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has previously described their style of football as "like an orchestra."

If it's a brand of football that frequently stirs the soul, Wright says Arsenal could learn a thing or two from Leicester's title tilt.

"It's their determination and their will to win -- the fact they seem to be playing with an unbelievable team spirit," Wright told CNN.

"You wouldn't say Leicester's players are great players -- they're fantastic players and hopefully they'll go on to be great players.

"But Arsenal have signed great players, and what you want from great players is the commitment and desire that Leicester have.

"That's what I'd take from them," Wright says. "I'd take the team spirit and the desire to win."

"Arsène Wenger's been there 20 years," muses Wright. "The only problem I've got with Arsene is he's bought players of a similar mentality."

In Wenger's early years in charge his teams were populated by born-winners like Tony Adams, Gilberto Silva and Patrick Viera.

"When you have great players, they need those ingredients as well," says Wright, referring to that will to win.

"I don't know if I would take a player from Leicester," Wright tells CNN. "At a push I'd probably take N'Golo Kanté."

"I think the saving grace that he might have will be if Tottenham don't win the league," says Wright, referring to Arsenal's north London rivals, who trail Leicester by seven points but are still in with a chance of winning the league.

"If Tottenham win the league I think that people will go mad. They'll go crazy, Arsenal fans!"
