Leicester scout Ben Wrigglesworth confirms he has joined Arsenal ahead of Foxes' trip to the Emirates

"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."

Wrigglesworth has been given the title of first team video scout at Arsenal.

The news comes as a blow for Claudio Ranieri's side, who visit the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Leicester maintained their five-point lead over the Gunners this weekend after beating Manchester City 3-1 at the Etihad.

And a win over Arsene Wenger's side this weekend would put a potentially insurmountable gap between the Foxes and their biggest title rivals.
