Transfers: Arsenal poised to snatch Arturo Vidal from Manchester United’s grasp

It was one of the most drawn-out will he, won't hes of last summer, but it finally looks like Arturo Vidal might be heading to the Premier League

But it won't be to Manchester United, despite the Red Devils lengthy pursuit of the Chilean star and their apparent need for a central midfielder, with Arsene Wenger set to step in and add the dynamic Juventus star Vidal to his Arsenal squad. In fact, reports suggest the Gunners are already in advanced talks to sign the 28-year-old for £25million and will, according to Argentine journalist Hernan Feler, announce the deal after next month's Copa America. (Daily Star) In addition to losing out on Vidal, United could also be saying goodbye to Angel di Maria as PSG renew their interest in the player. The Argentina forward had reportedly favoured a move to Paris last summer but the club were hamstrung by Financial Fair Play regulations, but are once again in a position to splash the cash and look set to make a serious attempt to lure Di Maria away from Old Trafford for a fee close to the £60million United paid Real Madrid a year ago (L'Equipe) Liverpool's search for a striker looks increasingly like it will focus on bringing Christian Benteke to Anfield, and the Reds are attempting to sweeten the pot by throwing Rickie Lambert into a proposed £30million deal. We're not sure why that Aston Villa would suddenly jump at that offer, but the club did attempt to sign the ex-Southampton striker in January, although that was in the PG (Pre-Gilet) era. (Daily Mirror) Chelsea are on the lookout for another left back after Filipe Luis flopped at Stamford Bridge this season, and Ghana international Baba Rahman could fit the bill for a fee of around £20million. Aside from offering great potential to headline writers and terrace chanters, the 20-year-old Augsburg star has had a stellar season in the Bundesliga and would provide competition for Cesar Azpilicueta.
