Arsenal are reportedly considering a move for FC Porto’s Fabio Vieira.
Reports claim that Arsenal and Olympique Marseille are monitoring his progress with the Portuguese outfit.
He has featured in 7 league and 4 Champions League games this season to really impress. The 20-year-old has massive potential to succeed in Europe’s highest level. He has shown enough spark and creativity in midfield to draw up a conversation about an Emirates transfer.
Arsenal definitely need it and they need it in plenty. Wednesday night’s 1-1 draw against Southampton was plenty of evidence as to why. Goals have dried up for the Gunners as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang starves up top without any creative support behind him.
Vieira’s profile is one that Mikel Arteta is chasing along with a few more. Lyon’s Houssem Auoar is still on Arsenal’s shortlist but a move for Dominick Szoboszlai is unlikely now. The latter decided to sign for RB Leipzig this month after attracting plenty of interest from the Gunners.
At £27m, Vieira will certainly be a gamble. Arsenal don’t have a lot of room to take in players and wait for them to respond. Right now, the North Londoners are desperate for proven talent, capable of winning them games.
