"Arsenal" to clash with "Liverpool" over defender Danno © EuroFootball.com

London is preparing to fight for Birmingham defender Scott Dann.

Liverpool club sees the 24-year-old footballer as the main contender to strengthen the defense after another candidate - Blackburn's representative Phil Jones - accepted an offer from Man Utd.

However, negotiations will not be easy, as Arsenal also wants to attract the tall defender. The advantage lies with Liverpool, as Dann supported this team in his youth and even had a season ticket.

Birmingham has dropped out of the English Premier League, so it will not prevent several top players from leaving.

The value of the deal could reach around 12 million euros.
