Premier League outfit Arsenal
have reportedly reached an agreement for Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal,
according to Daily Mail.
The
reports from Daily Mail claimed earlier today that the deal has been agreed between
both the top sides Arsenal and Juventus and it would cost around 21 million pounds.
Vidal
is currently at Copa America and will soon be returning once this tournament
finishes next week.
Arsenal
current star Alexis Sanchez has reportedly played a big role in convincing
Vidal to prefer Arsenal over other top sides. Manchester United have been one
of the club interested in his services.
Vidal
has played more than 120 league games for Juventus since his move from Bayer
Leverkusen in 2011.
The
Chile international will be signing a five year deal for the Gunners soon.
It
was also reported last month that the deal has been agreed, according to South
American journalist Hernen Feler.
The
28 year old lifted Serie A trophy last term with Juventus and also won the
runner up medal in the Champions League campaign.
The
Italian giants have already signed Sami Khedira and it is expected that the
Turin side signed him as a replacement of Vidal.
Meanwhile,
Juventus are also keeping tabs on Bayern Munich defender Mehdi Benatia.
