Edu Vargas close to Arsenal

By Football Italia staff

Papers in Chile believe Napoli forward Edu Vargas will undergo a medical at Arsenal on Tuesday.

The Chilean international impressed at the World Cup and wants a reunion with Gunners signing Alexis Sanchez.

He spent last season on loan at Valencia and has failed to impress Rafa Benitez so far this summer.

According to La Tercera, Vargas is set to undergo a medical with Arsenal on Tuesday or Wednesday.

The deal would be on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.

Vargas had also been linked with a return to Valencia or English club QPR.

This week his agent confessed Napoli "have other priorities" and he was therefore evaluating "many offers."
