Fabio Vieira

Mikel Arteta has been a key influence in this signing. Although Vieira's progress had been tracked by Arsenal's wider recruitment team, it was ultimately the ...

In this match against Boavista, he hung back to create space on the edge of the area. Vieira strode into opposition territory, delaying his pass before dissecting the retreating Moreirense defenders with a pass off the outside of his left foot. In last season’s Champions League, he created a goal against Liverpool with his right foot. First, he showed good awareness and defensive work rate to intercept a long pass from the opposition goalkeeper that dropped into midfield. His tendency to drift into the right half-space makes him a valuable alternative to Martin Odegaard, but it may be that Arteta envisions a way for them to play together. That comes with some risk: his tendency to look for the killer ball can lead to turnovers. He has played in a variety of roles for Porto this season. This was once considered a weak part of Vieira’s game, but Porto coach Sergio Conceicao paid special attention to honing the midfielder’s defensive instincts. Through the different age groups, he occasionally found himself out of favour as he waited for his body to catch up with his talent. Perhaps that rapid judgement was crucial to the completion of this deal. He ghosted into the box to open the scoring after 17 minutes, and his intelligent play helped Porto secure a 3-1 victory. Previous winners include Juan Mata, Thiago and Andrea Pirlo. The award anointed Vieira as a potential star of the future.

LONDON (AFP) - Arsenal completed the signing of highly-rated Porto midfielder Fabio Vieira in a €40 million (S$58 million) deal on Tuesday (June 21).

Arsenal transfer news: Portuguese midfielder Fabio Vieira has been unveiled as the club's third summer signing.

He will likely operate as a central midfielder in Arteta's favoured 4-3-3 system. The left-footed maestro is similar to fellow Portuguese star Bernardo Silva in some ways considering the duo can both drive with the ball at their feet and unlock defences with precise passing whilst also never shying away from their defensive duties. I believe that we can meet a great player." "He is a very technically advanced player, he is good at defining, but he needs to improve some aspects of his game in order to become a full-fledged player. Now, the club have unveiled in in the famous red and white strip, with manager Mikel Arteta also making it no secret of his admiration for the talented playmaker. Arsenal's main problem last season was scoring goals, netting just 61 times across the entire 2021/22 Premier League campaign.

"It's a strength and it's a position Arteta has wanted Arsenal to get to ever since he arrived. "Arsenal have been crying out for someone to be on the end of those chances consistently. But he has a lot of flexibility with the ball and very good positioning without the ball as well. He's 22 years old, technically very gifted so he fits in with the Arsenal mould of players. He scored against Sporting, the champions from the previous season, and against Benfica, Porto's other great rival. But he can easily play in other places like the left wing and as an offensive midfielder, a No 10, as he is not that fast.

“Look at the players that we had in the past at this club in those positions. These are the players that are worth a lot of money.” – Manuel Tulipa, the Maritimo Under-23 manager who coached Porto’s U15, U17 and U19 sides from 2017 until 2020 However, it was 2021/22 when Vieira really came to life, as the midfielder registered six goals and a league-high 14 assists in 27 appearances as Porto completed the domestic double. He is a player who provides assists and can enter the area, score in midrange and in dead-ball situations. Coming through the club’s youth academy, he made his senior debut with Porto B in 2019/20 and went on to score seven goals in 23 appearances. “Fabio Vieira is special because he can see everything with his head on the ground.

We speak to Portuguese football expert for the lowdown on new signing.

“You see it generally in England, that Portuguese people on the whole don’t have much trouble settling in and adapting to a new country. He has been at Porto since he was a kid, but that happens quite often in Portugal – the top talents get snapped up at a young age by one of the big clubs. “He’s a little unfortunate not to have played for the senior team yet, because in his position Portugal are spoilt for choice. “He’s pretty much the boss of that Portugal Under-21 team,” Tom confirms, “and has been for the last year or so. “He's coming off a really good season, his best so far and his first where he has been a regular in the Porto side, who won the league. So how does Tom think Fabio will cope with a move to London at this stage of his career?
