Chile international Arturo Vidal has completed his move from Bayer Leverkusen to Juventus. The midfielder has agreed a four year package with the "Old Lady", and will join pre-season training on Monday.

Vidal had been linked with a move to Arsenal after some impressive performances during the Bundesliga close season last year.

However, he opted for a move to Serie A instead of the Premier League.

Vidal said of his new club: "I am here to help Juve get back where they belong. Many teams wanted me, but I had no doubts as soon as Juve called. I want the fans to know I am a warrior, which is what many people use as my nickname.

"I'll give my all to make coach Antonio Conte happy. I'm so fired up and ready for anything. In Chile everyone knows Juventus for their players like Gigi Buffon, Andrea Pirlo and Alessandro Del Piero.

"They also fondly recall Salas in the Bianconeri shirt. Pirlo too is world class and it is marvellous that I'll be able to play alongside him."
