Arsenal find €12million Vermaelen partner?
12:30 PM 04 August, 2009
Arsenal Football Club have been linked with a move for Neven Subotic.

The Gunners have been quiet in the transfer window this summer, with Belgian international Thomas Vermaelen the only addition to Arsene Wenger’s squad.

Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure have also left the club, and reports suggest the latter could be replaced by Serbian international Subotic, currently of Borussia Dortmund.

The 6ft 4in centre-half, 20, would be an alternative to Brede Hangeland, the Fulham star, who has been linked with the Emirates Stadium club ever since impressing against them last season.

Press Magazin claim Wenger is preparing a €12million bid for Subotic, who could form a formidable partnership with Vermaelen in the heart of the back four this season.

With the ever impending loss of Senderos and of course fall over a lot Eboue there needs to be an extra addition to the defence. He fits the Arsenal profile of young and strong and could be an able addition to Djourou in supporting Gallas and Vermaelen. Although Hngeland had a good first season I did not think he was quite that good that he would arrive at Arsenal. I do feel that we still need a midfielder even if we land Vieira as he will only do a bit part job as clearly not up to speed at present. Lot of talk around players, idf Sissoko from Toulouse is deemed a better option than Vieira then maybe he should be a target for Wenger to strengthen his midfield. I do think however it will be Matuidi (under 21 international) who will arrive. Also Sakho from PSG may also be a possibility, hes a monster of a guy and could provide more strength to the defence physically.You never know Wenger may be playing the waiting game as Real Madrid need to off load some of their players and may make a move for Mahamadou Diarra for the midfield and Drenthe to assist with the options on the wing. Theres one thing for sure, Wenger will be blooding several players this year such as Wilshere, Ramsey, Merida and possibly Cocquelin (centre half) in the premiership so lets stay positive whatever sugnings are made as I think we just might surprise people this year.
