EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal poach QPR scout
QPR boss Harry Redknapp is losing his top talent spotter Ian Broomfield to Arsenal.
Master spy Broomfield, who was also with Redknapp at Portsmouth and Tottenham, was head-hunted by Gunners chief scout Steve Rowley.
It’s a major coup for Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger as Broomfield has been a big influence on Redknapp’s transfer plans over the years.
At Spurs, Broomfield was the driving force behind the signings of Hugo Lloris and Jan Vertonghen.
Now under Rowley, Broomfield will concentrate on bringing similar top talent to the Emirates after he has served his notice period at Loftus Road.
