Arsenal are challenging Liverpool for Birmingham City defender Scott Dann.
Skysports.com says Dann is thought to be on both club's wanted list after they lost out to Manchester United for Blackburn's Phil Jones.
Arsenal chief Arsene Wenger has made a new central defender one of his top priorities as he looks to shore up his rearguard after they looked suspect at the back last season.
Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is looking to bolster his squad as he seeks to get the side back in the top four and Dann figures highly on his shopping list.
