Arsenal midfielder Fabio Vieira has agreed to join his former club Porto on a season-long move with no obligation to buy next summer. The 24-year-old midfielder will go further down the pecking order following the arrival of Mikel Merino in the coming days.

Vieira was brought in the summer of 2022 in a €40 million deal and managed only 49 appearances across his two seasons with the Gunners, amassing three goals and nine assists in the process.
