Chelsea transfer target Arturo Vidal is reportedly learning English ahead of a
possible move to Stamford Bridge in the summer.

It’s understood Bayern Munich midfielder Vidal is Antonio Conte’s number one target looking ahead to the summer transfer window and the pair have been in contact on the phone.
The Sun suggest the 29-year-old Chilean, who joined Bayern for a fee of around £25.5million two years back, has now taken up English lessons.
However, Conte would need to splash the cash in order to land Vidal, with the Bundesliga giants demanding a whopping £56m for the star who was named Chilean Footballer of the Year for 2016.

The duo, of course, worked together during their time at Juventus and have spoken in glowing terms about each other since going their separate ways.

In the summer, Vidal said: ‘If I go to war I would take Conte with me – we will see what happens.’
