The Portuguese boss is aiming to win the Champions League title, after winning the Premier League and the League Cup in the previous season. The signing would surely be a huge boost for his side, though rumours had previously stated that he was keen on joining his compatriot Alexis Sanchez at the Emirates.
However, once negotiations are completed, Aranguiz will be moving to Stamford Bridge and could be a vital player for Chelsea in the upcoming years. Aránguiz’s box-to-box abilities were in evidence in last year’s World Cup, including scoring a crucial goal against Spain, and in helping his country to the Copa America title earlier this month. And after reports of Chelsea’s interest at the weekend, the Daily Star is now reporting that the Blues are in talks over an £8 million transfer.
