Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has explained tempting Ben Wrigglesworth away from Leicester City.

Arsenal last week raided the King Power club for their head of technical scouting Wrigglesworth.

Wenger explained: "We try to get the best people in every department and the Leicester scout was on our list, not just because they are top of the league but because we have heard about his quality and we want the best."

Arsenal host Leicester today.
