Arsenal Transfers: 5 Defenders To Replace Thomas Vermaelen

5. Daniel Agger

A cultured left-footed central defender disgruntled at being out of favour with his current club. Vermaelen and Liverpool's Agger could be twins. Despite Reds boss Brendan Rodgers switching to three at the back, Denmark national captain Agger sits on the bench. New Anfield arrivals Kolo Toure and Mamadou Sakho forcing him down the pecking order prompted Agger to tell the Daily Express: "I'm here to play football, nothing else. So if I don't play football, then I don't want to be here." If he turned to Agger, Wenger would be getting a fine asset with Champions League experience Arsenal would have to spend big again to get him though, but the buy of Mesut Ozil shows the board is willing to do that.
