<p>Rafael Van Der Vaart remains firmly in the shop window with only four days left in this summer&#8217;s transfer window. The Dutch midfielder has been linked with a whole host of European clubs over the past few weeks, however as of now, nothing has materialised.</p>
<p>The player himself has admitted that he would love to move to a Premier League and personally, I think a move to Arsenal could be on the cards. Liverpool have been mentioned, however the fact that Rafa Benitez only has a few million pound to spend seems to rule out the possibility of a move to Anfield.</p>
<p>Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has today claimed that he may dip into the market before the window shuts next Tuesday. Van Der Vaart, 26, for me would be an ideal addition to the Gunners squad. He an experienced international, who is undoubtedly entering the prime years of his career. He can play anywhere in midfield and when I say play, I don&#8217;t mean just play ok in every position, I mean he can play exceptionally well in every position.</p>
<p>Many figures have been banded about in recent weeks, however £9 million is thought to be the figure that would secure Van Der Vaart&#8217;s services and after the sale of both Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor to Manchester City, Wenger certainly has that kind of money to spend. S0, what do you think? Should Arsenal make a move for Van Der Vaart or should they look elsewhere? Comments below please.</p>

<p>It has been claimed today that Liverpool will make a £10 million bid for the Dutch international, who has himself admitted that a move to the Premier League would be of interest to him.</p>
<p>Van Der Vaart, 26, is desperate to leave the Bernabeu before the transfer window shuts on September 1st after falling down the pecking order at the Spanish giants. The arrivals of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Karim Benzema has seen several Real players looking for new clubs and Van Der Vaart is no different.</p>
<p>The former Ajax man has been linked with dozens of clubs in recent weeks including Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal, however Rafael Benitez is now understood to be interested. As much as I would love to see Van Der Vaart move to Anfield, I find it hard to envisage. If Liverpool really wanted him, they would have demanded him as part of the Xabi Alonso deal.</p>
<p>I am a massive fan of Van Der Vaart&#8217;s and I personally feel that Liverpool would be far better off with him in their squad. For all the latest on this and much more, stay tuned to Football Corner over the coming weeks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://img.skysports.com/08/10/218x298/Xabi-Alonso-Liverpool-2008_1366686.jpg" alt="" width="218" height="298" />Real Madrid are today preparing to change their bid for Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso after weeks of speculation regarding the player&#8217;s future.</p>
<p>The Spanish international has been continuously linked with a move to the Bernabeu all summer long, however Real have, as of know, failed to meet Liverpool&#8217;s asking price of £30 million.</p>
<p>Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has always maintained his desire to keep Alonso, 27, at Anfield, however it now appears unlikely that Alonso will still be wearing red next season after he handed a transfer request earlier this week.</p>
<p>It has been claimed today that Real will offer Liverpool cash plus Rafael van der Vaart in a bid to push through a deal. I personally think that if Liverpool managed to get £19 million plus Van der Vaart in exchange for Alonso they would be doing extremley well.</p>
<p>Even the most ardent Liverpool will admit that it&#8217;s only a matter of time before Alonso is on his way out of the club so it&#8217;s crucial that they get the best deal they can. I have always been a huge admirer of Van der Vaart&#8217;s and I would just love to see how he would cope with the pace of the Premier League. It will be fascinating to see how this one pans out over the coming weeks, so stay tuned to Football Corner for all the latest.</p>
