da lvbet： Arsenal are set to increase their interest in Birmingham defender Scott Dann the Daily Mail understands.
da heads bet： The Gunners are pondering a £10 million move for the 24-year-old centre back and are sending chief scout Steve Rowley to run the rule over him this weekend.
Birmingham start their Championship campaign against Derby County on Saturday and Rowley will be in attendance to judge whether he’s the man to put an end to Arsenal’s defensive frailty.
Manager Arsene Wenger wanted to see Dann in action last weekend in a friendly against Everton but he missed the game due to a sever hamstring tear.
However he has now recovered from that and Rowley will make one final check before reporting his findings back to Wenger.
The Frenchman is desperate to bring a centre half to the Emirates before the transfer window closes with moves for Bolton’s Gary Cahil and Everton’s Phil Jagielka going cold.
Wenger considers both to be overpriced by their clubs and has grown frustrated at the Toffee’s in particular over their valuation of Jagielka.
Arsenal know they will have to move swiftly if they want to capture one of the most sought defenders in England with interest from Chelsea and Liverpool also strong.
