Worcester man names 'dream client' after helping Coventry City star move house

Warren Leggett, who has previously moved the likes of Manchester City star Phil Foden and Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White, has named Arsenal's Bukayo Saka as the person he would like to move the most.

Mr Leggett's firm Warren's Removals and Storage has been on a roll recently, moving stars including Coventry City's Joel Latibeaudiere, Swansea City's Kyle Naughton and Sheffield Wednesday's Jamal Lowe.

He told the Worcester News: "This time of year has always been quite busy, normally the end of the season is the busiest as it is the summer transfer window but this has been busy too.

"We moved Joel Latibeaudiere in last week and he was really nice.

"I quickly realised all players speak, generally it's the player's partners that recommend us to players. "

In September, Mr Leggett was contacted by Manchester City star Phil Foden on Instagram asking him to help him move houses.

Six-time Premier League champion Foden had been encouraged to contact Mr Leggett by Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, who already had experience of using his service.

Mr Leggett added: "I now have quite a good relationship with some of the players, moving Phil Foden solidifies me in the footballing world and has really helped too, though.

"Phil was a really down to earth guy, it was a pleasure spending time with him."

Mr Leggett has run his removal and storage company for the past 12 years now.

He said it is always very humbling to get approached by high-profile footballers, no matter how many times it happens.

"Players know we are going to be looking after them, it's a shame to see players move so frequently especially those who have young families, but they accept it's just their lives and they get used to it.

"The players couldn't be more down to earth, it's like hanging around with friends."

A massive Arsenal supporter, Mr Leggett admitted he would love to move either Bukayo Saka or Declan Rice- but only if it was within London and not to help them move to another team
