Busy summer ahead?
Arsenal are set to sign Fábio Vieira from Porto. The Portuguese club confirmed a transfer agreement on Friday morning. Once Vieira and Arsenal have agreed on personal terms and completed a medical, Porto is set to receive €35 million, plus €5 million in performance-based bonuses. For Arsenal, the Vieira deal is just the beginning of a busy transfer summer that could also see the arrival of Youri Tielemans (Leicester City) and Gabriel Jesus (Man City).
As for Vieira, this summer only Aurélien Tchouameni (from Monaco to Real Madrid), Darwin Núñez (from Benfica to Liverpool), and Erling Haaland (from Dortmund to Man City) were more expensive. The 22-year-old managed to become a star for Porto during the second half of the season. A flexible attacking midfielder, Vieira was mostly an off-the-bench player during the first half of the season before finally achieving his breakthrough after the winter.

Porto have made it clear that a deal is still contingent on Vieira to pass his medical and reach personal terms—both those things are considered a formality at this point. Vieira becomes one of the ten most expensive outgoing transfers in Porto’s club history (overview).
Vieira just the beginning – Tielemans and Gabriel Jesus still set to arrive
For Arsenal, the Vieira deal, however, is just the beginning. Also, Arsenal fans worried that Vieira’s transfer could end the pursuit for Tielemans can relax. CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs pointed out on Friday that the deals are independent of one another. Furthermore, the Gunners continue their chase to sign Manchester City winger Gabriel Jesus. Hence, Vieira is just the beginning for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta as the Spaniard is looking to guide the club back into the Premier League top four.
