Should Arsenal cough up £15 million for this guy?

It would appear that Arsenal will need to cough up £15 million if they are to have any chance of signing Fulham defender Brede Hangeland.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is desperate to bring Hangeland to the Emirates before the transfer window shuts on September 1st. Should a deal go through at the rumoured £15 million, it will be one of Wenger’s most expensive signings since arriving at the club in 1996.

Hangeland, 28, is open to a potential move to Arsenal, however he also claimed that he would be more than happy to stay at Craven Cottage for another season.

Personally, I think Hangeland would be a perfect replacement for Kolo Toure, who left the club earlier this summer to join Manchester City. Arsenal clearly have a bit of money to spend and I feel they should just give Fulham the £15 million because the sooner they get Hangeland to the club, the better. The Norwegian international is without doubt one of best defenders in the Premier League and at £15 million, he would still prove value for money.
