Battle For Scott Dann Picks Up

Following the announcement that Championship side Birmingham City are ready to sell Roger Johnson due to financial constraints, Liverpool and Arsenal have stepped up their chase for his defensive counterpart Scott Dann as the battle for British talent continues.
Over the last week and a half we have seen a number of British clubs looking to build for the future as they seek new and exciting British talent as they look to purchase a new breed of players as almost all clubs considered to be within the top four clubs in England look to youth over experience.
According to news reports this morning, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has pin pointed Dann as one of his primary targets for the summer transfer market proceedings as he looks to gear up for the upcoming season.
Arsenal will face a challenge for the 24 year old defender following the declaration that Liverpool are also interested in the young English born defender following an alteration to the club’s stance towards purchases after the appointment of Kenny Dalglish into a permanent managerial role with the club.
Birmingham have already announced that the only reason that they are looking to offload players is due to financial constraints that come as part of their relegation from the Premier League last season, opening them up to losing some of their best players.
Dann stands at 6ft 5in and plays within the centre of defence, an area in which both Arsenal and Liverpool have identified as a major issue within their performances last season and with the news that Dann is a childhood Liverpool supporter, thoughts are that he will be more than willing to overlook Arsenal in line with a move to his favourite club.
