‘Arsenal are desperate to have Walsh’

Former Leicester City defender Matt Elliott claims that Arsenal are “desperate” to bring scout Steve Walsh to the Emirates Stadium. Leicester’s dealings in the transfer market have been held up as one of the key reasons for their success this season, with Walsh playing a key role in building the squad that is currently top of the Premier League. Speaking in an exclusive interview, Elliott – who was also full of praise for manager Claudio Ranieri – revealed that the 51-year-old’s work at Leicester has not gone unnoticed and his recruitment of Steve Walsh, for instance, has been a massive influence.
