Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is interested in Birmingham City defender Scott Dann.
The Daily Mail says Wenger has lined up Birmingham's Dann as a fall-back option to No1 target Phil Jagielka, of Everton.
Arsenal will have to get a move on, however, with Stoke City launching a bid for the £15 million-rated Dann.
The Potters are offering cash-plus-striker Ricardo Fuller in exchange for the Scouser.
