This is a big signing for Arsenal
Arsenal have struck a surprise agreement with Porto to sign attacking midfielder Fabio Vieira, who is now due to travel to England for a medical ahead of a switch to north London, according to reports.
The Gunners are understood to have made the breakthrough in negotiations with the Portuguese giants for the 22-year-old in the past few hours as he prepares to embark on a new chapter in the Premier League and it’s claimed he could touch down in the capital as soon as this evening.
Arsenal have had a slow start to their summer transfer window and have had to watch Tottenham conclude three impressive signings before making their mark in the market – besides the capture of 19-year-old winger Marquinhos from Sao Paulo.
But now the wait has seemingly been worth it following a bolt from the blue in their pursuit of first-team reinforcements.
According to Portuguese journalist Pedro Sepulveda, Vieira is now on his way to Arsenal in what could prove to be a major coup for Mikel Arteta and Edu.
