Arsenal have picked up a significant amount of momentum in the summer transfer window, with Friday bringing positive news all round for Gunners fans.
First came an announcement from Porto , which said Fabio Vieira would be moving to Arsenal in a deal worth £38million. Vieira – a good omen of a name in that particular area of north London – is a 22-year-old attacking midfielder who contributed 14 assists and six goals in the Portuguese top flight last season. He will become the club’s second summer signing, after Brazilian forward Marquinhos .
Arsenal may have got some business done, but they are not stopping there. According to the Guardian , Vieira’s arrival will not affect their plans regarding Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans. The Gunners are reportedly continuing to work on a deal for the 25-year-old, who has one year left on his Leicester contract.
