Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has opened up about recalling their 24 year old star this month. The current shortage in final third has been followed up by the rumors of recalling the loaned out star.
The star in question here is Fabio Vieira who joined Gunners in 2022 from Porto. He played 33 games in his first season but was limited to only 16 last season. Later, he was sent on loan back to Porto in summer 2024.
Gunners want to part ways with Vieira permanently at the end of the season. But, due to current conditions the 24 year old seems to have one more chance to impress at North London. Bukayo Saka will miss as much as 3 months and Vieira can be called back to replace him.
Mikel Arteta opens up about recalling Fabio Vieira
Arteta was recently asked about recalling Vieira this month. The Spanish coach opened up about the situation but refused to give clear answer.
“There are certain possibilities with the Fabio situation. We’re exploring all of the things that we can do, just in case we cannot do them as well, how the injuries are progressing and when we’re going to have them available” – Arteta about recalling Fabio Vieira.
Vieira has played 16 games for Porto across league and European competition. He has scored 2 goals along with picking 2 assists and is having a decent season. It will be interesting to see if Gunners recall him back for short but much needed spell. On the other hand, Arsenal’s competitors in the Cunha race have been revealed.
