Arsenal have entered the race to sign Eduardo Vargas after he reportedly told Napoli he wants to leave this summer.

The 24-year-old striker has struggled to settle in Italy since arriving in 2012, subsequently spending time on-loan with Gremio and Valencia.

And after a strong showing with Chile at the World Cup, he is now pushing for a big move away, and reports say Arsenal are keen on signing him.

The Gunners will have to act quickly with Valencia already in talks over a deal, but Chilean radio says Alexis Sanchez has recommended singing Vargas to Arsene Wenger.

A quick, skilful and agile striker, Vargas can also play on the wing and is famed for his hunger and work rate.



He is rated at about £10million and could add competition in all attacking areas if he moves to the Emirates Stadium.
