Manchester City have raided West Ham United for scout Christian Lattanzio - on the advice of England boss Fabio Capello.
The Italian has joined City as one of their senior recruitment officers after leaving his post at Upton Park where he had risen from community officer to a senior role behind the scenes.
Lattanzio was at the World Cup as part of Capello's massive backroom staff and watched the opposition teams and systems for his long-term friend.
Now Capello has tipped off City about Lattanzio who will try to help the mega-rich outfit improve on their scouting as they look to spend their millions.
