Arsenal can avoid Premier League squad issue after Fabio Vieira transfer with four more deals

Fabio Vieira's imminent arrival at Arsenal is likely to have consequences for a number of first-team players before the summer transfer window closes.

It has already been announced by Porto that a deal that could rise to €40m (£34m) has been agreed with the Gunners for the signing of the Portugal U21 international which means all that remains is for the midfielder to complete a medical and put pen-to-paper on a five-year deal.

Once the formalities are sorted, Vieira will become Arsenal's second confirmed signing of the summer transfer window - after Brazilian youngster Marquinhos - although he's not expected to be the last with the club linked with moves for Gabriel Jesus, Youri Tielemans and Raphinha just to name a few.
