Arsenal star Thomas Vermaelen set for summer exit

Arsenal's club captain Thomas Vermaelen looks set to leave the club in the summer, as per his agent.

The Belgian centre-back has failed to breakthrough the Gunner's starting line-up this season, with Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny having a great coordination in the central defensive role.

According to Vermaelen's agent Alex Kroes, the former Ajax man has revealed of his intention to leave the North London club in the summer, with the likes of Napoli and Inter Milan monitoring the player's transfer situation.

“Thomas has told Wenger that he wants to leave Arsenal this summer.” Alex Kroes said.

The 28-year-old has made 140 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions since his move from Ajax in the summer of 2009.
