Chile playmaker Charles Aranguiz admits to Arsenal "dream"

Chile midfielder Charles Aranguiz has said that it would be a "dream" to play for Arsenal, after reports suggested that the Gunners are preparing a bid.

The Internacional playmaker was part of the Chile side that impressed at the 2014 World Cup, and he has subsequently been linked with a move to some of Europe's biggest clubs.

The Mirror claims that Arsenal are monitoring the player, but no contact has yet been made.

Aranguiz told reporters: "I don't know anything about it. I've heard about it through the press but nobody has talked to me. They're a great team, and it would be a dream, but for now that's all it is...a dream."

The 25-year-old started for Chile in their defeat to Brazil at the Emirates Stadium yesterday.
