The arrival of the midfielder gives Mikel Arteta options when it comes to setting up his team with the dynamic midfielder expected to complement Thomas Partey and Martin Ødegaard.
A fifth place finish in the league might have meant they missed out on Champions League football but it’s still a significant progress that Europa League football will return to the Emirates this season, they did not have that last campaign.
According to broad reports the forward is bent on moving to London and even though the likes of Tottenham are also interested, it is thought that the Brazilian prefers to work with Arteta.
Leeds United’s Raphinha is another player that has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates and it’s almost frightening to think of a very talented Arsenal side further powered by these new additions.
So, with so many players linked with a move to the Emirates already, here is how Mikel Arteta might set up his Arsenal team with the addition of midfield powerhouse Fabio Vieira at the heart of everything.
