Team spirit within the Arsenal camp is extremely high at the moment considering the Gunners sit top of the Premier League. Mikel Arteta's side have started the season in brilliant fashion, winning all three of their league games so far.
A reason for this success could be the club's impressive transfer business, with Edu completing five deals so far and spending £110million. Gabriel Jesus, Matt Turner, Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira and Oleksandr Zinchenko have all come through the door, and more signings could yet be announced.
One player who Gunners fans are yet to see in an Arsenal shirt is Vieira. The 22-year-old joined from Porto in a deal worth £34million and has been recovering from a foot injury, although in recent weeks has been edging closer to a debut.

One player who has helped the Portuguese settle in north London is Gabriel Martinelli. The two youngsters have formed a close bond and can often be seen in each other's company around London Colney and the Emirates Stadium.
This was also the case ahead of Arsenal's Premier League fixture against Fulham on Saturday. The pair were spotted playing table tennis together on Friday afternoon, as seen on Aaron Ramsdale's Instagram.
The goalkeeper uploaded to his Instagram Stories a video of the two competitive youngsters playing a game of table tennis in the gym. Rather unusually, the game was played over two tables instead of the conventional one, and involved both Vieira and Martinelli showing their frustration at some of the shots played.
While table tennis may not help the pair's football skills, it will certainly improve their relationship and boost the overall morale in the Arsenal camp. A win against Fulham on Saturday will only boost that further.
