Scoring for fun: Vermaelen hit eight goals last term[LNB]Thomas Vermaelen has told Arsenal fans scoring goals is not a priority for him as Arsene Wenger's side look to mount a challenge for the Barclays Premier League title.[LNB]The Belgian defender netted a terrific header on his debut for the Gunners last season at Everton and hit another five goals in his first 11 games for his club.[LNB]But Vermaelen, who finished the last campaign with eight goals, insists that keeping clean sheets is his main concern this season.[LNB]The 24-year-old said: 'I know the fans are expecting goals from me and I hope I can score some this year but for me it is not the most important thing.'It sounds silly but as a defender you are happier after a 6-0 win with the clean sheet than if you have scored one goal but you concede two.'Maybe for some people they are not happy to hear that but for me the most important thing is to defend and to defend as a team as well, and then we will get further as a team. If we defend first then we can win games. After that we will see.'[LNB] Arsenal set to move for Japanese youngster Ryo MiyaichiArsenal squad for 2010-11ARSENAL FC
