Arsenal have already secured the signing of Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal, according to Argentine journalist Hernan Feler- who is reportedly the man who initially broke the news of Vidal’s Chilean compatriot Alexis Sanchez’ move to the Emirates last year.
According to reports, the Gunners have moved ahead of Premier League rivals Manchester United and Liverpool for the signature of the highly-talented Champions League finalists. On Twitter, Feler said:
“After the Copa America in Chile, it will be made official the arrival of Arturo Vidal to Arsenal. Everything is closed. Alexis [Sanchez] will partner him.”
Previously it seemed that reports concerning Vidal were simple gossip stories, with no credibility, but now it seems some with real connections and information believe the transfer is complete- with only the official things to be done after the Copa America.
Apparently, Arsenal have agreed a fee with Juventus and personal terms with Vidal himself have also been agreed- with Alexis Sanchez helping to persuade his international colleague to move to North London.
