Argentina legend Diego Maradona has praised Arturo Vidal and believes that Chile will win this year's Copa America.
The midfielder has been one of the standout players in Italy since his arrival at Juventus in 2011 and has constantly been linked with big-money transfers to their European rivals.
Maradona admits that he is a big fan of the Chilean international and feels that he can help his country to become South American champions in the summer.
"Vidal is a player I seriously like," Maradona told Telesur. "He is like a player from Boca Juniors who fights and has great courage from the minute he puts on the jersey.
"I think Chile will be the favourites to win the Copa America with them hosting it. And don't forget they have [Alexis] Sanchez as well as Vidal and [Gary] Medel, they are very strong."
Chile have never won the Copa America and have been losing finalists four times in their history.
