As expensive as Hulk & Falcao
With Matt Turner (27) from New England Revolution and Marquinhos (19) from FC Sao Paulo, Arsenal FC have already announced two transfers for the coming season. The third is only a matter of time. According to consistent reports from Portugal and England, FC Porto playmaker Fábio Vieira will soon join the Gunners at a cost of €40m including bonuses. This would put the 22-year-old among the ten most expensive Arsenal signings in history.
According to the TV channel “SIC‘ and the portal ‘The Athletic‘ Vieira traveled to London on Thursday evening to finalize the transfer. With his youth club Porto, the left-footed player won the league and cup double this season, scoring seven goals and providing 16 assists in 39 competitive games. At €40m, Vieira would be level with Hulk, Radamel Falcao and Fábio Silva as the fifth most expensive exit from the “Dragões”.
