Arsenal are on the verge of signing Birmingham defender Scott Dann, according to the latest reports.
Sky Sports News sources state that Arsenal have opened preliminary talks with Birmingham, over a possible move for Dann.
The 24-year old is expected to leave St. Andrews this summer, after his side were relegated to the Championship, after a miserably late finish on the final day of last season.
The centre back has been linked with many clubs, including Chelsea and Liverpool, but it seems that The Gunners have won the race and look certain to sign Scott Dann.
Cesc Fabregas is expected to leave The Emirates this summer, in a deal worth around £40m, including add-ons. Arsene Wenger is also likely to lose Samir Nasri, so will have vast funds available to invest in the transfer market, before the summer window ends.
Arsene Wenger wants a new centre back, and it appears that Scott Dann is the man.
