When it seemed like Fabio Vieira might be moved, he is ready to get a fresh lifeline as an Arsenal player this season. One of the players fans anticipated to go this summer, the Portuguese midfielder has struggled since his arrival to the Emirates. The Gunners are eager for him to prove them right for signing even if his performance last season was disappointing. Among the players Mikel Arteta trusts still is Vieira. Arsenal wants him to remain even although he missed many games last season.
Latest News On The Future Of Fabio Viera
Arsenal appears to have more trust than Emile Smith Rowe about Vieira turning into a major player. According a Sun article, they have been declining requests for his signature. According to the source, while multiple clubs have shown interest in signing Vieira, Arsenal has turned down all bids. The Gunners are sure he can perform for them in this campaign and will provide him at least one more season to become a major contributor.
This choice underlines Arteta’s conviction about Vieira’s ability. Though he has difficulties, Vieira’s technical skills and field vision have shown flashes of what he can provide. The Gunners think with more playing time and support these traits will finally show. Many admirers have voiced their uncertainty regarding Vieira. Still, this could be the push he needs to discover his shape. Vieira has pressure to go on and have a major influence this season. Having his manager’s faith and the support of the club, he has a great chance to make Arsenal’s fortunes right.
This is, in my view, a risk but one that could pay off. Though Vieira has skill, his Achilles weakness has been consistency. Should he clear this obstacle, the Gunners may find him to be a vital component. For him, this is a make-or-break season; everyone will be attentively watching to see if he can meet the demands.

Following a game against Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen, Mikel Arteta’s squad now gets ready to meet Manchester United and Liverpool in their upcoming friendly. These games will be vital tests as Arsenal polishes its lineup before the next season.
Emile Smith-Rowe, one of Arsenal’s longest-serving players off the field, may be on route out. Ben Jacobs claims Fulham is close on a £35 million deal for the midfielder. Product of Arsenal’s junior program, Smith-Rowe has made 115 senior appearances, netting 18 goals and dishing 13 assists. Though he has promise, under Arteta he has had difficulty finding playing time in previous seasons.
Though it seems Fulham has won the race, Crystal Palace’s interests were also mentioned. Adaptable, Smith-Rowe can play as an offensive midfielder or on either wing. Seeking regular first-team play and a change to Craven Cottage lets him remain in London, the 23-year-old is apparently open to the transfer.
