Edu has already sealed transfer for player 'better than Luis Diaz' ahead of Arsenal vs Liverpool

Arsenal completed the surprise £34million signing of Fabio Vieira from Porto in the summer transfer window and the Portuguese playmaker has been tipped to be 'better than Luis Diaz'.

The Gunners made a total of five new signings over the summer as technical director Edu worked tirelessly to reshape the playing squad and meet Mikel Arteta's demands. Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko have had an instant impact for Arsenal whilst Vieira has had to bide his time after recovering from injury, but he is now starting to show why the club signed him.

Liverpool beat Tottenham to the signing of Porto superstar Luis Diaz in January, but Vieira has been tipped to become a better player than the Colombian winger. The 22-year-old was influential in the Europa League win against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday, grabbing a goal and an assist, but is likely to return to the substitutes' bench for the clash against the Reds this afternoon.
