Chelsea, Inter target Eduardo Vargas declares he's joining Napoli

Universidad de Chile striker Eduardo Vargas has declared he's joining Napoli.

The Chile international was being linked with Inter Milan and Chelsea.

“Napoli await me,” Vargas told Radio Cooperativa. “I send an embrace to all the Universidad de Chile fans, but I am very happy to be a new Azzurri player.

“They are a great Italian side and I’m sure I’ll do very well there. I already know Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi, while I am very happy that the negotiations concluded so quickly.

“Europe is a dream come true for me.”

Universidad de Chile owner Carlos Herrera said: “It is an honour to sell Vargas to the same club that Diego Armando Maradona played for. He is going to a side where he’ll have a great shop window and will not stay with us for the Copa Libertadores.

“The contracts have not yet been signed, but they will be before Monday.”

I think avb and crew are stupid.

CHELSEA`S SCOUT FOR PULLING NEW PLAYERS ARE SO WEAK...WHY WE ALWAYS FAILED TO WELCOME THE TALENTED PLAYERS??? WE SHOULD SELL THE AGEING PLAYER FIRST... WHATSOEVER..THEN THE YOUNG PLAYERS WILL JOIN US... THEY THINK THEY WILL NOT GET CHANGES TO IMPROVE... SO SELL YOUR OLD PLAYER FIRST..THEN THEY WILL COME TO STAMFORD BRIDGE....WELCOME.... CHELSEA, SELL MALOUDA, DROGBA, ALEX,LAMPARD,MIKEL.... THEN YOU CAN BY TIOTE, MOUTINHO, CAHILL, ROBINHO...BELIEVED IN ME.............

great news for football, players choosing football over money.. he will be instant success at napoli alongside cavani and lavezzi while hamsyk moving back partnering inler.. great for napoli
