Osasuna striker Chimy Avila accepts 'invitation' from Spain coach De la Fuente

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente plans to call up Osasuna striker Chimy Avila.

Rosario-born Avila also qualifies for Argentina and is on the radar of their World Cup winning coach Lionel Scaloni.

However, De la Fuente is making a move for the experienced striker.

An invitation has been sent to Avila to accept a place in Spain's extended preliminary squad - and he has accepted.

Avila has scored eight goals in 25 games for Osasuna this season.
