Arsenal have confirmed the signing of highly-rated Portuguese midfielder Fabio Vieira from FC Porto for a reported fee of £30m plus add-ons.
The deal - which has seen him sign a long-term contract - has come as somewhat of a surprise to Gunners fans given Vieira hadn't been one of the select few names being relentlessly linked with a move to the Emirates. However, the switch has been officially announced and Mikel Arteta can consider Vieira his first big signing of the summer window.
The Gunners had already acquired Sao Paulo teenager Marquinhos, but Vieira is the first arrival that is expected to immediately come into the Arsenal first-team. A dazzling playmaker, Vieira registered 14 assists in the league alone for Porto last term.
