Arsenal Sign Scout Ben Wrigglesworth from Premier League Rivals Leicester City

League-leading Arsenal have made a key signing from a fellow Premier League title-chaser, but it's not in the way you might think.

While Claudio Ranieri has insisted that Leicester City stars Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy are staying put in January, it seems he's let a prize asset slip through his fingers.

Express.co.uk reports that the Gunners have picked up the head of technical scouting at the King Power Stadium, Ben Wrigglesworth.

It might not earn a yellow bar on Sky Sports News but this could be the signing of the season, given that Wrigglesworth was reportedly the mastermind behind the Foxes signing Algerian Mahrez and Frenchman N'Golo Kante.
