The Clarets are just a point adrift of Arsenal in fifth after the Gunners to ten points from their last four matches.
And former Arsenal striker Wright says when the time comes to replace Arsene Wenger at the Emirates they should look at bringing in Dyche.

But the man who scored 185 for the Gunners fears the club will not even consider the Dyche because he is not a glamorous appointment.

Wright was backed up in his assessment of the Burnley boss by Stoke midfielder Charlie Adam.

Adam said: "Maybe some of these superstars need someone like him to come in and have a go.

"He's an experienced manager in the Premier League. He's done his groundwork with relatively smaller teams and got them set up well.

"He's got the attributes to manage one of the top clubs. If Arsenal want him they should take him."
