Queens Park Rangers and Sunderland have reportedly joined Arsenal in the race to sign Napoli forward Eduardo Vargas this summer.
Arsenal were believed to be close to sealing a loan move for the 24-year-old, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Valencia.
However, according to gianlucadimarzio.com, QPR and Sunderland have registered their interest and the pair will go head-to-head for a permanent deal in the remaining weeks of the window.
