Arturo VidalHere is some great bit of news that will excite us Arsenal fans – Arturo Vidal has been told by the Juventus hierarchy that he can leave the Serie A club this summer.

There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the Chilean’s future at Juve as of late, with reports suggesting he was on his way out and set to join Arsenal after the conclusion of the Copa America.

Tuttomercatoweb now suggests Massimiliano Allegri will keep hold of Paul Pogba for at least another season, but allow Vidal to depart if interested clubs can match the £29.2 million asking price.

Arsene Wenger will have funds available this summer to strengthen his squad ahead of next season and is believed to want to bolster his midfield.

So, should Wenger meet Vidal’s £29.2 million asking price? I think he’d be foolish not to.

For me, the tenacious Chilean is one of the finest midfielders currently operating in Europe and would be a terrific addition to our squad. We are in need of someone to get stuck in and win possession back, and Vidal does this with some aplomb. He likes to get forward too, and knows where the goal is. But what impresses most football fans about him is his abundance of energy and determination. He is tireless and although his temper can flare up at times, we are in need of someone like this at our club.

Alexis Sanchez could hold the key in this potential deal as he can persuade his fellow countryman to join him at Arsenal this summer. But ultimately, it comes down to whether Wenger wants Vidal at the club and if so, will the Frenchman be willing to spend the £29.2 million to acquire him?

This potential transfer comes as a no-brainer to me and I hope, should Vidal want to come to the Premier League, that he joins our club rather than one of our rivals.
