Ben Wrigglesworth Confirms Arsenal Move from Leicester in Scouting Role

Leicester City's head of technical scouting, Ben Wrigglesworth, has confirmed he has joined Arsenal, putting to bed ongoing rumours concerning his future.

He announced the move on his Twitter feed on Sunday (via Hamish Mackay in the Mirror) and paid tribute to the Foxes:

After three-and-a-half 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.
