Who says the football world does not reflect the EuroMTN market? As leading soccer clubs scour the globe for the latest Eu30m signing, Royal Bank of Scotland has taken advantage of its own January transfer window by pouncing to snap up its own star signing. Leak can exclusively reveal that Morgan Stanley's former head of EuroMTNs, Klaus Svendsen, is the new MTN boss at RBS. Leak still remembers stories of Klaus catching champion size fish on Islandsbanki's 2001 Discover Iceland bash and cruising Californian coast roads in a Mustang convertible. We are delighted to welcome him back to the market - it has been a duller place without you Klaus.
