Arsenal are reportedly closing in on their second signing of the summer transfer window with a deal for Porto star Fabio Vieira in place.
According to reports in Portugal, the Gunners have already found an agreement with the current Liga NOS champions and that the midfielder is set to fly into London imminently to complete the transfer. It remains to be seen what price Edu has agreed to pay for the 22-year-old but a €40m (£34m) release clause is reportedly written into his contract at the Estadio da Luz.
Should a deal go through as expected then Vieira will become the Gunners’ second addition of the transfer window having already confirmed the arrival of Brazilian youngster Marquinhos - with the young winger signing from Sao Paulo. Vieira, a product of the FC Porto academy enjoyed a stand-out season for the Portuguese giants last season.
