ARSENAL have raided Leicester City to sign their head of technical scouting Ben Wrigglesworth.
He becomes First Team Video Scout at the Emirates.
Wrigglesworth is credited with helping to find Riyad Mahrez and N'Golo Kante, who have enjoyed outstanding seasons for the Foxes as they lead the Premier League table.
His exit was confirmed on LinkedIn and he thanked Leicester on Twitter, wishing them the best in the future.
He tweeted: "After 3 + 1/2 unbelievable seasons, working with amazing people, I am now starting a new chapter.
"It was a very difficult decision, leaving Leicester, but I had to take an opportunity that doesn't come round often.
"I only wish the best for Leicester in the future and will always be eternally grateful to them for getting me to where I am."
