Rumoured Charles Aranguiz

[the wes 7,212]

There are reports coming out of France that Chelsea are closing in on Chile international Charles Aranguiz. The player was one of the stand out players in his country’s Copa America triumph, and the midfielder is getting plenty of attention from a number of clubs as a result including the Premier League champions.

Football Club de Marseilles have revealed Chelsea have an agreement with Brazilian side International Porto Alegre to sign Aranguiz despite the attentions of French side Marseilles. The current coach of the Ligue 1 side Marcelo Bielsa knows the player very well after his stint as the national coach of Chile as it was the Argentine who gave him his international debut in 2009. Premier League rivals Manchester City are also monitoring the situation but as it stands Chelsea are in pole to sign the 26 year old.

We covered reports earlier in the year that Chelsea were showing an interest in Aranguiz along with London rivals Arsenal. At the time Chelsea seemed the side more likely to sign the Chilean but they needed to negotiate not only with his club but also a Brazilian supermarket who own 70% of the player. Chelsea will now want to act quickly to complete the deal for the South American after his impressive performances during the Copa America. Aranguiz netted two goals in the 5-0 demolition of Bolivia, and he scored one of Chile’s penalties during their shootout against Argentina in the final.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

So our bench options next season will be Mikel, Ramires, Aranguiz. Brilliant.

WTF and OMG you're such a hater and a troll IDK how old you are but clearly very inmature! Every player we are linked with you cry and spread out hate towards him! Face it we are not gonna sign Bale, Ronaldo Messy Reus Gotze Varane Vidal or any of the so called superstars! Stop being such a troll! We gonna buy some good players to continue to build on the foundation that we have!

On topic Aranguiz is a fantastic player one of the best in the World Cup at his position and the best at the COPA America!

Gonna be a super sighning and I'm exited for this!

Also he was strongly linked with the bluemoon cunts! And the Gooners!

[Gilvorak 3,734]

YES JOSE!

EDIT: Look, he isn't World Class but he would be an excellent replacement for Mikel/Ramires. Fantastic depth signing.

Never heard of him.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

He was very good in Copa America.

[Kieran. 6,317]

He was one of the best players in the tournament, wouldn't mind him here.

[supporter 3,088]

He was very good in America Cup. The big question is whether he would be able to adapt to the tempo of Europe and, above all, the rhythm of Premier League.

To me it's like an American Fabregas or American Gundogan.

Regards.

[Leif 6,006]

I thought he was the best player in the final
