Arsenal FC say skipper Thomas Vermaelen can
leave the club in the summer £5million.
The Belgian defender has been left out of the
starting line-up despite taking over as club captain from Robin van Persie.
Vermaelen, 27, has been previously watched by
both Barcelona and Manchester United but he is desperate to stay in North
London.
Manager Arsene Wenger prefers German Mertesacker
and Laurent Koscielny.
Arsenal are also considering bringing Swansea’s
Ashley Williams to the club. The player is currently rated £12m.
Vermaelen signed a new contract in October
2011 — to keep him at the club until 2015 — but has struggled this season.
It would be recalled that the Gunners signed
Vermaelen for £10m four years ago.
23rd May, 2013.
