Arsenal have agreed to sign Porto’s Fabio Vieira for a deal worth up €40 million. ESPN reported on Thursday that Vieira is due to have a medical in London on Friday and will finalise terms on what is expected to be a 5-year contract.

“FC Porto has reached a preliminary agreement with Arsenal FC for the permanent transfer of Fabio Vieira for €40m, of which €5m are dependent on the achievement of sporting goals,” FC Porto announced.
