The Guardian claims that, despite Arsenal closing in on a deal for the Ajax centre back Thomas Vermaelen, Brede Hangeland still remains a transfer target for Arsene Wenger.
The paper’s report offers no new information from the usual tittle-tattle that has linked Hangeland, so impressive last season, with a move away from Craven Cottage. They insist that Wenger remains keen on signing the Norway captain but Fulham will play hardball, holding out for a new club record fee, eclipsing the £12.8m Manchester United paid for Louis Saha in January 2004.
The Whites are still confident that Hangeland will sign a contract extension after encouraging close-season negotiations.
Captain?? so Hage has quality leadership and steel as well.What are you waiting for arsene? he is a quality defender, cheaper than Rio Ferdinand. We need him at all cost plus he is young.
Get him now Arsene…he’s just what we need and has already proved his ability in the top flight.
Onions
Having him at the club would be fantastic. We need a new era at the back.
