Arsenal are preparing to make a £21.3million bid to Juventus for midfielder Arturo Vidal while Alexis Sanchez tries persuading his fellow Chilean to join the Gunners.
The Premier League giants are lining up a substantial contract offer for Vidal, with Juventus willing to sell the star for the right price.
Sanchez is trying to convince his international team-mate in an attempt for him leaving the Juventus Stadium for the Emirates.
The Chilean duo are on international duty with Chile in the Copa America.
Reports in Italy suggest that Vidal, 28, is keen to join Sanchez, 26, at the Emirates later in the summer transfer window.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wants to add ‘world-class’ players to his side and has succeeded with various top players arriving at the north London club.
The box-to-box midfielder was at Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen before joining Juventus in 2011.
Vidal has an impressive CV, with him winning the Serie A four times and was a Champions League finalist with the Italian giant’s last campaign.
