Arsene Wenger has played down claims that Arsenal are in hot pursuit of Arturo Vidal.

Reports have suggested that the Gunners are set to go hard for the Juventus midfielder who is also a target for Manchester United.

However, Wenger has denied suggestions that the north Londoners want the Chilean ace who is close with star Gunners forward Alexis Sanchez.

"Arturo Vidal? You must be from Chile!" Wenger said to a journalist in the wake of his side's 4-0 win over Aston Villa in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

"We have good midfielders and at the moment we are not looking at Arturo Vidal."
