Steve Walsh (scout)

Steve Walsh is an English football scout who is currently Special Advisor at Major League Soccer club Charlotte FC.

[4] Walsh scouted obscure players such as Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy and N'Golo Kanté for Leicester, and their contribution to the club's success in the 2015–16 season ostensibly led Arsenal to express an interest for his services.
