Arsenal move for Eduardo Vargas, Petr Cech could leave Chelsea, and Manchester United chase Juan Cuadrado .

The Gunners are going for Napoli striker Eduardo Vargas, according to talkSPORT.

The 24-year-old Chilean was reportedly left out of Napoli’s Champions League qualifier squad, which will be good news for Arsenal as it means he won’t be cup-tied in the event of a move.

Valencia could sabotage Arsenal with a bid, though. Vargas was on loan to the Spanish side last season, and scored five goals in 25 appearances.

Over at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea could face a battle to keep veteran goalkeeper Petr Cech, the Daily Mail reports.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho has refused to name a first choice goalkeeper between Petr Cech and talented youngster Thibaut Courtois, leading to speculation that Cech is headed out of London this summer.

At 32 years of age, Cech is in his prime, and will want to play every game.

Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco, and Real Madrid are said to be interested in Cech.

Meanwhile, Man United seek out Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado, according to Metro. 

New United boss had earlier said that his squad lacks specialist wing-backs, a role that Cuadrado will be able to fill.

Chelsea are also said to be interested in the 26-year-old Colombia international.
