Arsenal lining up move for £27m Fabio Vieira?

Arsenal reportedly identify Porto playmaker Fabio Vieira, who has a £27m release clause, as an ideal signing to address their creativity problems.

Arsenal are reportedly contemplating a swoop for Porto playmaker Fabio Vieira.

With Edu confirming at a fans' forum that the Gunners are prioritising a move for a creative player in the near future, Vieira has been mentioned as one of the players who could potentially make the switch to the Emirates Stadium.

The 20-year-old has already turned out 12 times this season for Porto in all competitions, with his solitary goal coming in their Champions League victory over Olympiacos in October.

According to Record, the Gunners could land the Portuguese midfielder should they trigger his release clause of £27m, although a bid would likely be made in the summer rather than in January.

The report claims that a deal could be reached smoothly as Pini Zahavi - who has close ties to Arsenal - represents Vieira, although Marseille are prepared to go head-to-head with the Gunners for his signature.

Vieira has 18 months left to run on his deal with Porto, where he boasts three goals and one assist in 20 appearances.
