Arsenal Transfers - 10 Dream Replacements For Thomas Vermaelen

2. Daniel Agger

Arsenal have been put on red alert this summer with Daniel Agger looking certain to leave Liverpool before the transfer window clangs shut. Agger was last week reported to have been reduced to tears as he begged Reds manager Brendan Rodgers to let him go after becoming frustrated with a lack of first-team opportunities. The Denmark international made only 14 Premier League stars last season after falling down the pecking order behind Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho while the recent acquisition of Dejan Lovren at Anfield has sounded the death knell for his career at the Kop. And now, Arsenal could be set to rescue the centre-half from his Merseyside misery. Agger would be a quality signing for the Gunners as he has a wealth of Premier League experience under his belt and is already established in England, meaning unlike other defensive options on this list, there would be little to no transitional period. What's more, the player is desperate to leave, meaning it should be a cinch for Arsene Wenger to persuade Liverpool to sell - even if they would be strengthening a league rival in the process.
