Gunners throw in centre-back plus cash in final attempt to land Suarez.
Arsenal are prepared to offer Thomas Vermaelen as well as £45million for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.
The Gunners are hoping to capitalise on the uncertain future of Reds centre-back Daniel Agger, who is keen on a move away from Anfield this summer and who is a target for both Barcelona and Manchester City.
Vermaelen was not at his best for much of last season for Arsenal, appearing to suffer from a drop in confidence after taking the captain’s armband following Robin van Persie’s departure to Manchester United.
The Belgian’s future has been up in the air for much of the summer, as he seemed to attract some interest from the likes of Napoli, as well as being another defensive target for Barcelona.
With no offers coming in, the former Ajax man looked set to remain at the Emirates Stadium, but Arsene Wenger is now hoping to use him as part of a deal to land his main transfer target this summer.
