Porto have already confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Arsenal over the transfer of the Portugal international. Vieira scored six goals and assisted a further 14 in just 27 Portuguese top-flight matches last season.
The addition of Vieira will provide important competition and creativity to Arteta’s midfield options. The Spanish head coach is also known to want a striker despite Eddie Nketiah agreeing to extend his contract beyond this summer.
Nketiah replaced the now departed Alexandre Lacazette for the final weeks of the campaign and netted 10 goals in total in all competitions. But Arsenal’s downfall across the campaign was their lack of firepower, with Lacazette striking just four times.
The North Londoners missed out on the Champions League to rivals Tottenham, who boasted far better forward options. It is why Arsenal have been strongly linked with Man City striker Jesus.
