Fabio Vieira is in for a nasty surprise when he arrives at Arsenal - as he will find his preferred squad number already occupied in the Emirates Stadium dressing room.
The midfielder, 22, will join the Gunners in a transfer worth £38million this summer after Mikel Arteta's side struck a deal with Porto. Vieira had a brilliant 2021/22 season, scoring six goals and chipping in with 16 assists across all competitions as the Portuguese giants won the league-cup double.
This convinced Arsenal to make him their marquee arrival of the summer window so far, following Brazilian youngster Marquinhos through the door. The North London club are yet to confirm what numbers their two new signings will wear, but Vieira was likely hoping to claim the No. 50 shirt.
