Fabio Vieira has joined us from FC Porto on a long-term contract.

The 22 year-old midfielder, who made 54 appearances during his time with Porto, developed through the Portuguese club’s youth academy, making his first team debut in June 2020 and was part of the Primeira Liga winning squads in both 2019/20 and 2021/22.


Fabio is a Portuguese Under-21 international and has scored an impressive 13 goals from his 21 appearances. He also represented his country at youth level, playing all five tournament matches as Portugal finished runners-up at the 2019 UEFA Under-19 Championship.

During last season’s Primeira Liga winning season, Fabio made 27 appearances, scoring six goals and making 14 assists during the league campaign.

Technical Director Edu said: “We’re so pleased to have completed the signing of Fabio from FC Porto. Fabio is a player with special qualities who is comfortable with the ball in the final third of the pitch. We are all looking forward to working with him and enjoying his future contribution to Arsenal. We will now continue to work hard and are looking forward to finishing this transfer window as strongly possible.” Please click here to watch the full interview with Edu.

Mikel Arteta added: ”I am very excited that we have identified and signed such a special talent. Fabio is a very creative player that will bring high quality and versatility to our attacking play. We welcome Fabio and his family to our club and are looking forward to starting work with him ahead of the new season.”

Fabio will wear the number 21 shirt and join up with his new team mates soon for pre-season training.

Everyone at Arsenal welcomes Fabio to the club.

The transfer is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.

He had a good season in Portugal last year so hopefully he can take that forward, some accounts saying we got him for a steal at £34M as his release clause was in the region of £42.5, any way......


Welcome Fabio and I hope you can live up to your namesake's legacy :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

Looks a little too much like Ceballos for my liking but good luck to the lad, he looks good on YouTube :barscarf:

By the way, Vieira himself said his playing style is similar to Odegaard so perhaps he’s more a central player than wide right.

Also, it feels great typing the name Vieira again… please do the name justice Fabio! :box:

That’s a bad omen. Baptista was nicknamed the beast and he was anything but!

At least he's already got a song - all we've got to do is change "Senegal" to "Portugal".
