Arsenal boss confirms he’s a fan of Chilean

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has dropped a massive hint that he is in fact interested in signing Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal after admitting he likes him as a player.

The Chilean international has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium this Summer, with The Gunners reportedly plotting a £25million bid for the midfielder.

Deal Agreed?

According to reports in Chile, Vidal has already agreed a deal in principle to join the North London club and will seal the deal after the Copa America is finished over the Summer.

Vidal is set to be involved with Chile during the international tournament, and will play alongside Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez, who are close friends on and off the field.

Alexis could play a crucial part in securing the deal by persuading Vidal to join the club, but Wenger has already stated his admiration for the midfielder.

As of yet, Arsenal haven’t officially responded to reports saying a deal is agreed, but in his weekly press conference, Wenger admitted to liking the Juventus star but insisted that he is not yet in transfer mode.

Wenger Confirms Interest

‘Yes, I like Vidal,’ he admitted.

‘Are we in transfer mode? I say no.

Vidal could be let go by Juventus as they are reportedly close to signing Sami Khedira on a free transfer from Real Madrid. However, Arsenal could face competition from Liverpool who are also showing interest in the Chilean.
