ARSENE OUT TO LAND HANGE; Football Spy.


Byline: JOHN CROSS

ARSENE WENGER has made an pounds 8million move for Fulham star Brede Hangeland Brede Paulsen Hangeland (born June 20 1981 in Houston, Texas) is a Norwegian footballer, playing for F.C. Copenhagen and the Norwegian national team.

195 cm tall, Hangeland plays as a defender or defensive midfielder. He arrived at Viking from local club Vidar F.K.
.

Gunners boss Wenger wants the 27-yearold Norway centre-back to shore up his leaky defence. Fulham boss Roy Hodgson Roy Hodgson (born August 9, 1947) is an English football manager. He is currently the head coach of the Finnish national team.

Hodgson is probably best known for guiding the Swiss national team to the 1994 World Cup and Euro 1996; before that Switzerland had not qualified
 is aware of Arsenal's interest but is desperate to keep hold of Hangeland.

Hodgson will offer the powerful player an improved contract to stay. And if the 6ft 4in stopper insists on going, Fulham will demand more than Wenger's valuation.

Arsenal also have their eye on another defender, Ajax captain Thomas Vermaelen, as Wenger looks to rebuild his squad.
