Arsenal are reportedly interest in signing Chilean striker Eduardo Vargas, but could face competition from La Liga outfit Villarreal.

It is understood Arsene Wenger will dip his toes into the winter market in search of a striker to lift some of the goal burden off red-hot Robin van Persie and Vargas, who currently plays for Universidad de Chile, has appeared on the Frenchman’s radar, according to talkSPORT.
