Liverpool and Arsenal going head-to-head for Phil Jones and Scott Dann
Arsenal and Liverpool are going head-to-head for defensive duo Phil Jones and Scott Dann according to SkySports.com.
Blackburn Rovers highly rated center-back Phile Jones and Birmingham City's centre-back Dann are both thought to be top targets for the Gunners and Reds as they look to bolster their defensive options this summer.
Dann has established himself as one of the best young defenders in the league during the last two seasons. The 6ft 5in Dann, who been likened to Alan Hansen and Tony Adams, is believed to be keen to stay in the Premier League and the lifelong Liverpool fan would jump at the chance of a move to Anfield.
Liverpool and Arsenal are also currently at the front of the queue for the signing of Phil Jones with the player's camp said to favour a move to Anfield. The North London club have held a long-term interest in the England Under-21 international and had a bid rejected for Jones last summer.
Blackburn value Jones at about £15million but are determined not sell him for less than the club record £18m banked from Roque Santa Cruz's move to City two years ago.
