Gary Lineker suggested Arsenal stole the wrong scout from Leicester City.

Ben Wrigglesworth left Leicester for Arsenal and he's credited with helping to sign Riyad Mahrez and N'Golo Kante.

Asked to name his Premier League team of the season so far, Lineker said: “[Christian] Fuchs, for sure. Underrated, we got him on a free transfer. I love how Arsenal nicked the wrong scout. N’Golo Kanté, for sure, Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy. Four at least.

“Steve Walsh is the guy who found these players and bought them in,” he added. “I know when he found Mahrez he was sent to watch someone else and came back with Mahrez. He’s done a brilliant job and that’s been the large key to Leicester’s success. As in all clubs, it’s about the people you bring in and they’ve done it on a relatively small budget compared with the giants.”
