Premier League Transfers 2022: Arsenal close to signing Fabio Viera
The 22-year-old has just enjoyed a breakout year at club level, racking up six goals and 14 assists in 27 appearances – statistics which are already impressive before you consider that he managed that in just 15 starts.
Vieira comes with a €50m release clause but Arsenal have negotiated down to an upfront fee of €35m (£30m), with a further €5m (£4.3m) in add-ons. A medical has now been set for the coming hours, with Vieira expected in England imminently.
Vieira finished second in the Liga Portugal assist charts last year but also flashed a real eye for goal at Under-21 level for his country, netting seven times in just eight games during the 2021/22 campaign.
An attacking midfielder by trade, Vieira has filled in on both wings for Portugal but played the vast majority of his minutes in a central role, similar to that in which Martin Odegaard shone for Arsenal last season.
Premier League Transfers 2022: Gabriel Jesus seeks Manchester City exit
Arsenal are on the verge of sealing a deal for Man City striker Gabriel Jesus, according to reports.
The Gunners have been linked with the out-of-favour Brazilian for much of the summer so far with Erling Haaland’s arrival at the Etihad placing his future in serious doubt after six years on the blue side of Manchester.
But it is Arsenal who look to be winning to race, with club chiefs now confident they can strike a deal for the player, as reported by the Times.
City are holding out for around £50million, the report claims, and while Arsenal have only bid around £30m so far, they are expected to push their offer closer to what City are valuating him at.
Jesus is eager to move to the Emirates and is keen to work with manager Mikel Arteta again, it continues. The pair worked together at the Etihad when Arteta was Pep Guardiola’s assistant manager and have a good understanding.
