Arsenal have made a £10million offer to sign defender Simon Kjaer, according to reports in Turkey.
The Fenerbahce man is renowned for being a no-nonsense, old-school defender and is not afraid to challenge strikers as he demonstrated in the Europa League last season when he was involved in an angry confrontation with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The 28-year-old has been in impressive form since joining the Turkish club during the 2015 summer transfer window from Lille.
The Gunners have already signed Sead Kolasinac to add depth to their defensive department but manager Arsene Wenger wants to add more players in defence.
Regular centre-back Laurent Koscielny has recently revealed that he needs to take care of his Achilles every morning until he retires and this is a concern for the 67-year-old Arsenal boss.
The Denmark international has also been linked with a possible move to Anfield with manager Jurgen Klopp reportedly eager to add him to his squad.
