Former Bundesliga striker Jan Aage Fjortoft has congratulated Arsenal for snapping up Borussia Dortmund's chief scout Sven Mislintat.
The talent spotter has been hailed for his work with the Ruhr giants and Fortuna Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Bayern Munich have all failed with approaches for him in the past.
But Arsenal are taking Mislintat to the Emirates Stadium and are claimed to be paying Dortmund a fee of €2m to get their man.
Mislintat has been credited with identifying a raft of players for Dortmund, including Ousmane Dembele and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
And Fjortoft, who played in the Bundesliga for Eintracht Frankfurt, thinks Arsenal have landed a coup in securing Mislintat.

He wrote on Twitter: "Congratulations Arsenal.
"Sven Mislintat, now the chief scout at Dortmund, will be a great signing for you. They call him "Diamond Eyes".
"He found [Christian] Pulisic and Dembele and many more."
Arsenal's activity in the transfer market has been criticised in recent years with boss Arsene Wenger accused of failing to strengthen key areas of the side with the quality needed to compete for the Premier League title.
It remains to be seen if Mislintat can change the Gunners' fortunes in the transfer market.
