Emile Smith Rowe claims Mikel Arteta has unearthed the next Bernardo Silva at Arsenal

Emile Smith Rowe believes new Arsenal signing Fabio Vieira is similar to Manchester City star Bernardo Silva.

The Gunners confirmed the signing of highly-rated Portuguese midfielder Vieira from FC Porto for a reported fee of £30million plus add-ons. His arrival comes in a busy summer transfer window for the club following on from the additions of Sao Paulo teenager Marquinhos, striker Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City and US goalkeeper Matt Turner.

The arrival of Vieira was done at the behest of boss Mikel Arteta, with the Gunners boss keen to add another creative talent to his squad at the Emirates. The 22-year-old midfielder registered 14 direct goal assists last season despite having started just 15 matches in Primeira Liga.
