Although the Gunners play host to several attackers beside Olivier Giroud, they still need one more quality finisher who can guide them through the long season and Vargas maybe the one for Wenger to pin the hopes on. The Gunners started their season with a win against Crystal Palace at home, but they had to wait until extra time to clinch the winning goal, which was eventually scored by last season’s top performer Aaron Ramsey, which goes to show the lack of quality finishers amidst their talented midfielders.
Vargas, who scored 3 goals from 17 league appearances for Valencia last season, may not be a world beater, but he will give a different dimension to the attacking threat. Vargas, who has spent the last few seasons on loan might be willing to give his all to settle down at a club permanently.
According to Metro, the forward’s prospects at the Stadio San Paulo appear bleak under Rafael Benitez, who loaned him out to former club Valencia for the second half of last season, and is said to be closing on another temporary switch, which should be announced by this Wednesday.
