Newcastle United have been linked with Arturo Vidal, as their takeover edges ever closer to completion.

Newcastle United fans are generally excited over reports that Arturo Vidal could be on their wishlist.

According to ITA Sport Press, Vidal could be willing to make the switch from Barcelona to Newcastle this summer, after their takeover goes through.

The claims are certainly exciting for Magpies fans, who are now seeing their side linked with some of the biggest names in world football.

And Newcastle fans, understandably, feel that Vidal would be a great addition to their squad, although there is some scepticism over whether a deal could actually be done.

Newcastle’s new owners are expected to back to club with considerable funds, and it is predicted that they will invest heavily this summer.

Vidal may be 32, but there is little doubting that he would add quality to their midfield.

The Chilean international is energetic, but also technically excellent and it seems likely that he would immediately become a key player for the Magpies if he was to arrive.
